As a scientist, Qian Xuesen's research field is unusual. He mastered the most advanced and cutting-edge weapons research achievements in the world at that time.
It was under such circumstances that he heard the news of the founding of New China in the United States. He is very excited and eager to return to China and make contributions to the motherland. But at that time, it was difficult for such talents to return to China. Under the constant obstruction of the United States, Qian Xuesen's road to return to China was very difficult.
Extended data
First, the United States fired sugar-coated shells. In the early 1950s, Qian Xuesen's annual salary had reached about $654.38 million+,so his salary at that time was more than adequate.
But the United States found him and promised him more generous treatment and conditions, including not only doubling his salary, but also a more advanced research environment. In the face of such temptation, it is estimated that few people are unmoved, but Qian Xuesen resolutely refuses and is bent on returning to China.
The sugar-coated shells didn't work, and the United States began to come to Wu. When Qian Xuesen was about to embark on a ship returning to China, the United States sent out the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and arrested Qian Xuesen for no reason. After his arrest, he also monitored Qian Xuesen and cut off his communication.
In the face of this kind of behavior in the United States, of course, China should take care of it, but the United States said that Qian Xuesen himself did not want to return to China. Because there is no evidence that Qian Xuesen was under house arrest in the United States, this matter can only be delayed.
Five years later, Qian Xuesen is still conducting his own research. Finally, one day, American plainclothes relaxed their vigilance against him, and he took the opportunity to send a letter while visiting the supermarket. This letter finally reached the hands of Premier Zhou. After discussion with the Foreign Minister of China, China finally found the evidence. But at this time, the United States began to cheat on me, not expressing its position and not letting people go. What do you want to do to me?
Finally, in order to rescue Qian Xuesen, China offered a very attractive bargaining chip to the United States, that is, promised to release 15 American pilots captured on the Korean battlefield. Many people should know that America is very important to their own people.
It can be regarded as a humanitarian country, which we can see from many battles. In addition, the American people have the right to vote, so for the importance of the air force and to avoid public opinion, the United States agreed to let Qian Xuesen return to China.
Perhaps the United States also had such considerations at that time. China's detention of its air force is bound to reveal the secrets of its air force. Relatively speaking, it will be more cost-effective to let Qian Xuesen go back.
What the United States didn't expect was that Qian Xuesen's return to China promoted China's high-tech national defense weapon technology for at least 20 years. For China at that time, Qian Xuesen's return was a timely rain, but also a timely help. Money is always admirable!
