As we all know, the display of a large number of first-class equipment at the parade not only enhances the ornamentality, but also shows the national strength, so it has always been the focus of attention of various countries. At the 1999 Chinese military parade, the Dongfeng missile that made its debut in the grand finale was unprecedentedly snubbed by some foreign dignitaries.
What is even more unexpected is that after the ceremony, the Taiwan authorities also made public the relevant data of the Dongfeng missile, suggesting that these data were reliable intelligence provided by informants. So, is the matter of the informant a means used by the Taiwan authorities to confuse the public, or is it really a real thing?
According to the statistics of the investigation team, from 2022 to the present, my country has successfully held 15 grand military parades. From the beginning when a plane had to fly back and forth twice, to the present self-developed missiles and fighters, our country has gone from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong.
Among these many military parades, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the "military parade of the century" in 1999. In this military parade, our country demonstrated many advanced military **.
Behind this high-profile military parade is the extraordinary era of the nineties of the last century. During this period, there was the collapse of the Soviet Union, the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, and the bombing of the Yugoslav embassy.
The international situation is complex and unpredictable. Just five months before the military parade of the century, the Chinese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was bombed, resulting in the tragic death of three journalists and the injuries of more than 20 others to varying degrees.
The main culprit is none other than the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, led by the United States.
China has evolved from a lamb to the slaughter to an independent country. Our progress and development have put pressure on Western countries, who have taken a keen interest in China and want to know more about our internal information.
In order to meet their needs, we held a grand military parade that demonstrated the military strength of our country. The parade was spectacular, attracting ambassadors to China and journalists from all over the world.
At the climax of the parade, we displayed the self-developed Dongfeng-31 missile, which became the focus of the audience. Foreign ** rushed to shoot, hoping to get more information.
This not only demonstrates our military strength, but also proves to the world that we are independent and self-reliant.
The DF-31 missile is a land-based long-range ballistic missile developed by Chinese mainland, and its biggest feature is a breakthrough in range and accuracy. With a range of more than 8,000 kilometers, this missile is extremely powerful.
Generally speaking, the United States will hype up missiles of this class and promote the theory of the China threat. However, the appearance of the DF-31 missile did not attract the attention of the US authorities, but the Taiwan authorities questioned the function of this missile at a news conference.
With a consistent attitude of respecting themselves and being inferior to others, the Taiwan authorities said that the performance of the DF-31 missile had been exaggerated. However, what they said next frightened our security personnel.
The Taiwan authorities have released data on the Dongfeng-31 missile, which has caused heavy losses to our confidential information. In order to find out the leaker, we immediately set up an investigation team.
However, because of the large number of people involved and *** we cannot conduct a large-scale public investigation, so we can only do it secretly. Despite our efforts, progress has been slow.
After six years of perseverance, our staff finally found a breakthrough in a seemingly ordinary grocery shopping incident. The case began in 2005 when a middle-aged woman was shopping for groceries at a wet market when her actions caught our attention.
At first glance, grocery shopping and espionage may seem like nothing to do with it, but there is.
In 2005, at a large wet market in Beijing, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walked into a seafood restaurant. The boss has been in business for many years and has a unique vision, and he can see at a glance that she is extraordinary.
He stepped forward with great anticipation to greet the likely big customer. The woman had a clear goal and went straight to the entrance area. She pointed to the top seafood and asked for ten catties without hesitation.
When the boss heard this, he couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear. However, before he could be happy, a word from the customer made him feel worried. After learning about **, the woman said that she only had US dollars, and if the boss was willing to accept it, she was willing to leave the extra money for the boss as a tip.
This seafood restaurant has been in business for many years and has always followed the domestic settlement method and has never accepted US dollar checkout. However, with the rapid development of China's economy, more and more foreigners are visiting and settling in China, and other shopkeepers in the same market have mastered the art of dollar trading.
The boss knew that it was a big business and didn't want to lose the opportunity, so he finally decided to take a risk. To ensure safety, the boss cleverly asked the woman to leave her home address.
He knew that if the woman knew that his son worked at the Ministry of State Security, she would not dare to buy seafood at this shop, let alone leave an address.
During dinner at the boss's family, the boss told the family about the woman's use of dollars to buy groceries, and the listeners became suspicious. The son thought of a possible scenario: the woman used dollars to buy groceries, and the Beijing dialect was fluent, and there might be something unknown behind this.
However, this is just speculation, and they don't know each other's backgrounds and can't be sure if she is really from abroad.
The son's decision to report the matter to the security services out of concern for the safety of the country is admirable. He takes every clue that may be harmful seriously, and this spirit is worth learning from.
After receiving the report, the security services immediately took action and conducted an investigation using the information provided by the owner of the seafood restaurant about the home address of the middle-aged woman. The results of the investigation were shocking, and it turned out that this address was the home of missile expert Guo Wanjun.
Guo Wanjun was a top student in the Department of Physics of Nankai University, and later entered the national R&D department and became a missile R&D expert. He was involved in the design and development of the Dongfeng-31 missile, which plays an important role in China's missile community.
This discovery made us realize that it requires the attention and vigilance of each of us.
After learning of the seriousness of the situation, the leaders immediately dispatched elite forces to participate in the investigation, and strictly ordered the investigators to carry out operations in secret to prevent the leakage of information, so as not to startle the snake.
Through in-depth tracking and interviews, investigators found more suspicious signs of Guo Wanjun. For example, his family often goes to the bank to exchange dollars. Generally speaking, an expert of Guo Wanjun's level needs to be recorded in the file if he has overseas relatives.
However, investigators did not find any relatives of him overseas after reviewing the files. So what's going on with these dollars? The most likely explanation is that he had ties to foreign powers, which led to the acquisition of illegal property.
In order to find out the real culprit behind it, the investigators decided to continue the secret investigation.
Investigators soon discovered a suspicious figure close to Guo Wanjun, whose name was Wo Weihan. Wo Weihan is a native of Heilongjiang, and his excellent performance in the college entrance examination made him one of the first batch of university candidates and successfully admitted to the medical department of Harbin University.
After graduating with honors, he entered the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and obtained a master's degree. In 1987, he was sent by the state to study in Munich, Germany, where he successfully obtained his doctorate degree due to his excellent learning ability and studious attitude.
Studying abroad on public assignment is a way for international students to be sponsored by the state to study abroad, and during the study period, international students need to commit to returning to China after completing their studies and contributing to the country.
Influenced by Western ideas during his study abroad, Woweihan lost confidence in his homeland, and chose to stay abroad after graduating from his doctorate, cutting off contact with his homeland and family. He switched careers to business abroad, and the money came from a friend he met during his Ph.D., a Taiwanese figure and an important figure in the intelligence service.
** Willing to contribute large sums of money to help Wo Weihan, the purpose is to win him over to work for Taiwan's intelligence services.
Under the erosion of Western ideas, coupled with the co-optation of ***, Woweihan soon became a lackey driven by interests. In October 1989, Wo Weihan was officially rebelled against and engaged in espionage under the pseudonym Yang Dong.
As a spy, Vovihan's standard of living quickly improved, and he was paid a fixed salary of $1,000 a month, as well as a variety of free electronic devices at his disposal, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
During this time, he met an Austrian wife and had a daughter. He has lived abroad all the year round, but still retains his Chinese nationality and is an overseas Chinese. Of course, you can't think that he didn't change his nationality because he still had a bit of conscience, in fact, he had a more sinister plan, which was to use Chinese nationality to engage in more immoral acts.
In order to win Wo Weihan's loyalty, Taiwan's intelligence services invested $300,000 to open a restaurant in Austria for his wife, Chen Shukun, and took control of Wo Weihan's family's life.
After receiving the task of going to the mainland to photograph military equipment, Wo Weihan traveled back and forth to the mainland many times and went to the PLA night equipment map, all of which were used by Taiwan's intelligence departments.
In order to obtain more confidential information, Wo Weihan began to actively develop members and make more valuable people, which paved the way for his acquaintance with Guo Wanjun.
A grand wedding banquet was full of guests and lively. In this wedding, Wo Weihan, a doctoral graduate who studied abroad, became the center of attention.
Traditionally, close friends and influencers at the wedding were required to speak to bless the couple, so Woweihan was invited to the stage to cheer the couple. At the same time, Guo Wanjun, deputy chief designer of China's ballistic missiles, who was also present, also accepted the grand invitation.
Listening to the host's introduction, Wo Weihan was very excited, because Taiwan's intelligence personnel are particularly concerned about the mainland's military intelligence, and if Guo Wanjun can be won over, then future military intelligence will no longer be a problem.
Although Wo Weihan and Guo Wanjun met at the wedding, the two did not have much intersection. Wo Weihan has doubts about whether Guo Wanjun is a money-oriented person, and he is worried that if Guo Wanjun is really such a person, it may cause him trouble.
Therefore, he decided to make a good friendship with Guo Wanjun first in order to get to know him better. Wo Weihan took the initiative to chat with Guo Wanjun, who was very appreciative of his high education and unique lifestyle.
They kept each other's *** and agreed to meet again in the future. Soon after, Wo Weihan invited Guo Wanjun to his Beijing mansion for a party, Guo Wanjun was very envious of his luxurious life and successful experience, and asked Wo Weihan how to make money.
A fish took the bait. Instead of hiding, Wo Weihan said directly: "You are a missile expert, reveal some of your missile research and development data, and the money will roll in." ”
Guo Wanjun is very smart, he knows what Wo Weihan means, and he also knows what the consequences will be. But he has been carried away by money and is willing to become a subordinate of Woweihan and become a thief.
In 1994, in order to make it easier to obtain intelligence, with the support of Taiwan's intelligence department, Woweihan established Beijing Wohua Biotechnology Co., Ltd. in Beijing
The company, which was mainly engaged in the research and development and production of pharmaceuticals, had a good momentum of development, and the wealth of Woweihan also increased rapidly, and it became a business elite in the eyes of the people. The appearance of missile experts and business elites allowed Guo Wanjun and Wo Weihan to carry out their tasks better.
They cooperated with each other and gathered a lot of intelligence.
The Dongfeng-31 missile leak incident caused huge losses to the country. Guo Wanjun took advantage of his position to leak a large amount of missile data to Wo Weihan. Wo Weihan then forwarded the data to Taiwan's intelligence services, which in turn reported all the information they had to the United States.
The facts are clear and clear, the inner ghost is all around us, and he is still working in the core position. In 2005, in order to prevent Guo Wanjun and Wo Weihan from continuing to endanger ***, investigators took decisive action and arrested them.
At first, they categorically denied betraying the motherland and shouted out for injustice. However, in the face of ironclad evidence, their justification seems ridiculous. Confessing leniently and resisting strictly, they realized their mistakes and began to slowly explain what happened.
According to investigation, since their collusion, Guo Wanjun has provided Wo Weihan with seven items of top-secret information involving *** secrets.
Wo Weihan and Guo Wanjun, the names of these two spies are household names in China. Their crimes have seriously jeopardized the *** strategy and pose a serious threat to the country's national defense and security.
On 24 May 2007, the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court tried them for espionage and sentenced them to death. However, their crimes did not stop there.
Guo Wanjun was convicted of illegally providing state secrets abroad and sentenced to death. In order to save their lives, they chose to appeal. This case has attracted great attention from the international community.
Austria, the country where Woweihan's wife and daughter lived, interceded for him many times. In addition, other European countries have also continued to put pressure on China, hoping that China will open up the net.
However, as an independent country, China has every right to judge these two individuals in accordance with the law, whether personal or territorial. There is no reason for other countries to interfere in China's internal affairs.
On January 29, 2008, a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the Beijing Higher People's Court, along with journalists from all over the world, to report on the final outcome of the trial of Wo Weihan and Guo Wanjun as soon as possible.
This case reminds us once again that ** is the top priority of every country, and we must severely punish any act that harms ***.
The second-instance verdict was announced, and the judge announced in public that Wo Weihan and Guo Wanjun had been sentenced to death and upheld the original verdict of the first instance. The two wept bitterly at the verdict and remorseed, but it was too late to regret.
On November 28, 2008, the two were executed, and the Dongfeng-31 missile leak case officially came to an end. Wo Weihan was once an outstanding talent sent by the government to study abroad, but after returning to China, he made a big mistake because of his revenge, which is sad.
However, Guo Wanjun, as an expert in the research and development of China's core missiles, was easily corroded, which is shocking. Their stories warn us of the urgency of patriotic and counter-espionage education.
The building of the country is inseparable from everyone's contributions, and patriotism is the obligation and responsibility of every son and daughter of China. I hope that we can learn from their mistakes and work together to safeguard the security and interests of our country.
