No one knows what happened inside the corpse cave.
The Gauls also sent people down... but no one could come out again!
This place is actually not a mysterious area. The Paris Catacombs have been open to the public a long time ago.
Although the Paris Catacombs are a gloomy and terrifying place, they also have a peculiar charm that attracts some curious and adventurous people to explore. The first people to enter the catacombs were some professionals, such as architects, engineers, doctors, archaeologists, etc., who had academic or professional interests in this place. For example, on November 1787, 11, King Louis XVI of France and Queen Marie Antoinette of Austria personally visited the catacombs and expressed their appreciation for them. Later, on April 16, 1792, French revolutionary leader Maximilien Robespierre also visited the catacombs and delivered a passionate speech there.
In addition to these celebrities, there are also some ordinary people who want to see the style of the catacombs. In order to meet the needs of the people, the Paris government decided in 1809 to open part of the catacombs to the public as a place of education and entertainment. Since then, thousands of tourists have come to the catacombs every year to visit this place full of death and history. They go down the narrow stairs to a depth of meters underground, then pass through a two-kilometer-long tunnel, and finally reach an area called "bone pile", which is the core and most shocking part of the catacombs. Here, tourists can see a variety of corpse decorations, some are simple stacks, some are complex patterns, some are signs with words or symbols, and some are crosses or heart shapes made of skulls and tibias. Although these corpses have lost the color of life, they reveal a strange beauty, which makes people sigh at the fragility of life and the eternity of death.
Although part of the Paris Catacombs has been opened to the public, it still has many unknown and unexplored areas. These areas are often called "illegal areas" because they have not been organized and security checked, and are usually locked or closed, prohibiting anyone from entering. However, these restrictions have not stopped some brave and curious people from exploring these areas. They are called "cats and mice", a group of explorers and enthusiasts who love the catacombs. They usually enter the catacombs through some hidden and illegal entrances, and then carry out various activities there, such as tours, photography, painting, parties, performances, etc. They will also leave their own marks or messages on the walls to express their feelings and attitudes towards this place.
Cats and mice have a deep passion and awe for the catacombs, and they believe that this is a mysterious and beautiful world with its own rules and culture. They will also respect and protect this place and will not destroy or pollute anything. However, their activities also bring some risks and dangers, such as getting lost, getting injured, being arrested, etc. Therefore, they usually form small groups to help and protect each other, and will carry some necessary equipment and items with them, such as maps, compasses, flashlights, water, food, etc. They will also avoid entering the catacombs during the day or on holidays to avoid attracting attention or disturbing other tourists.
The streets of Champs-Elysées are the most prosperous and lively places in Paris. There are beautiful scenery everywhere, and bustling citizens and tourists. But who would have thought that about 20 meters underground, there is actually a very large tomb. How big is it? The total length is more than 300 kilometers!
Although the tomb is more than 300 kilometers long, only about 2 kilometers are open to the public. Due to the complexity of the tunnels, some people have gotten lost inside, so for safety reasons, only 2 kilometers were opened to the public.
Because too many places are so dangerous, even people who are very familiar with the underground corpse caves can easily get lost when entering them.
Of course, there are many people who seek death, and every year many people still sneak into those unopened areas for exploration.
So, there are countless missing persons every year.
This forced the Paris police to block off part of the area.
Even this can't stop those who are seeking death.
But this time, the Paris government directly offered a high price to send people, but no one dared to go.
The fucking sky is all green...who the fucking dares?
Fortunately, there have been no large-scale casualties in Paris so far, only a few people affected by ghosts have been in trouble.
However, no one knows whether these ghosts are truly harmless.
Now, Diana had no way to leave Gaul, and she could only stay in Paris, hoping to find out what had happened.
That's right, Wonder Woman is in Paris right now.
She is an employee of the Louvre and a senior appraiser and restorer of ancient Mediterranean artifacts. Her trip to Chicago was a cooperative project between the Art Institute of Chicago and the Louvre Museum. She just happened to come back to report on her work recently, and she is also preparing to resign.
She plans to move to Chicago completely.
As a result, this incident happened before she had time to submit her resignation report, and now she can't leave even if she wants to.
At this moment, the French National Intelligence Coordination Committee found her.
The French Inter-Ministerial Intelligence Committee was established in April 1989. It is the highest intelligence coordination agency in France and is directly controlled by the Prime Minister. Its main task is to determine the main goals and tasks of each intelligence agency and coordinate the actions of each intelligence agency. The committee consists of 4 members: the Director of the President's Office, the Prime Minister's Intelligence Coordinator, the Director of the External Security Bureau, the Director of the Territorial Guardianship Bureau, the Secretary General of the National Defense Secretariat, and the Director of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Defense.
Although the intelligence agency in Gaul is not as famous as Mossad, CIA and KGB, for the countries in North Africa, this agency is also a big devil-level existence!
After the end of World War II, Asian, African and Latin American countries launched national independence and liberation movements, and the global colonial system of Western countries collapsed. Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal and other countries almost lost all their overseas colonial territories. In particular, Britain, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, lost the most important land in South Asia, which can be said to be a heavy loss. When the overseas territories of the old Western colonial empires collapsed, only France suffered the least loss, which can be said to be "a centipede that dies but is still alive", and it can still exert influence on its former colonies to this day.
Historically, half of the African continent was a French colony. According to a report by the International Organization of la Francophonie, an estimated 2 million Africans live in 31 French-speaking countries, and can speak French as their first or second language. As the number of French-speaking people in Africa increases, it is expected that by 2050, 7 million people will speak French. Today, France has a greater influence in Africa than the United Kingdom, the United States, and China. It controls the economies of too many African countries and has the largest number of troops stationed in Africa. In the past few decades, when most African countries were in turmoil, it was not the United Nations peacekeeping force that was sent to mediate the situation, but the French legion wearing red hats. Therefore, France is also nicknamed "African Grandma". In recent years, although France has abolished its military bases in Africa, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and the French will not really withdraw from Africa. If France weakens its military presence in Africa too much, it means giving up the space for action it has occupied. From the military operations in Chad, Mali and other countries in the past few years, it can be seen that no matter which political faction comes to power, the French government's "new interventionist" strategy towards Africa will not change in the slightest. What's more, today Africa has become an important partner for Western countries and emerging economies in seeking energy and cooperation.
French media once published an article saying that France has considerable economic interests in Africa, among which the most "strategically valuable" is the uranium mine invested and developed by French nuclear power giant Areva Group in Niger. As we all know, nuclear power accounts for the highest proportion of France's power generation, reaching 7%. Nuclear power plants need uranium ore to operate, and uranium ore from African countries such as Mali, Niger, and Chad meets one-third of France's nuclear power raw material supply. In order to ensure its own energy security and interests from being damaged, France will certainly not and cannot give up its influence in Africa. France believes that from Mauritania in Africa, There is a crisis arc between Asia, West Asia and Central Asia. On the one hand, this arc is rich in natural resources, but it also hides factors of instability. The French prepared for a rainy day and made preparations very early, building a defense line of Abu Dhabi-Djibouti-Reunion Island-Crosse Islands-Kerguelen Island, and French military bases were built in these areas. Not only did they drive a "wedge" into the oil-rich Gulf region, but they also echoed with the French garrisons deployed in the hinterland of the African continent, enabling them to take military actions in multiple directions such as the Mediterranean, West Africa, East Africa and the Indian Ocean.
So the Gauls' intelligence system is quite powerful, but France has never been very prominent in this regard.
The fact that Diana is Wonder Woman...actually many similar organizations know about it.
This isn't a particularly secret secret.
She wasn't wearing a mask, could it be true that someone could change clothes and not be recognized? (I remember when I was very young, watching Superman cartoons and TV series, we kids complained about how Superman could not be recognized just by changing clothes and wearing glasses... How could anyone be so stupid? I guess DC also thought this was too stupid, so they came up with a new setting, that is, the glasses Superman wears have special abilities)
So after sending several groups of people into the underground corpse cave without any return, the Gauls decisively sought external help! Apart from anything else, the Gauls have always been flexible!
The Gauls have mixed feelings about Wonder Woman.
Because according to the nationality on her passport, Wonder Woman should be considered French... After the end of World War I, Wonder Woman actually lived in seclusion on Paradise Island. She only came out of Paradise Island after World War II.
He settled in France at that time.
Because in terms of the social atmosphere at that time, France was the most developed.
Many people don't know this, but France was the first country to support interracial marriage. Although the division of people into different species does raise questions about the strengths and viability of some mixed-race populations, French pluralists are not like their American counterparts and do support interracial marriage under certain conditions.
The consensus that whites were naturally superior to blacks and mulattos seemed to be based on the conclusion that interracial marriage should be prohibited. In the United States, black-white marriage was generally prohibited or at least strongly condemned by society. However, a considerable number of French people who believed in scientific racism in the mid-19th century supported black-white marriage, believing that such marriage was appropriate and necessary in a colonial environment where whites were always a minority. They insisted that black-white marriage would help improve the overall quality of the population.
While Americans believed that mulattos combined the worst of both races, with the bad blood far outnumbering the good, French scientific racists believed that the superior white blood would inevitably triumph over the bad, making mulattos closer in temperament and ability to whites than to blacks. In both countries, nineteenth-century ethnologists and racial theorists believed in biological genetic determinism and the inherent differences between "different species of human beings." However, only American scientific racists generally believed that their beliefs required the maintenance of racial purity through the degradation of blood and the absolute prohibition of racial marriage. The belief that racial characteristics were eternal and unchanging as characteristics of different species of people was challenged by the rise of evolutionary theory at the end of the nineteenth century. Different species evolved through a long process of natural selection; in the United States, this Darwinian conception proved to be consistent with the naturalistic concept of a racial hierarchy. Even if humans had a common origin a million years ago, according to the new scientific racists, the evolutionary process would eventually produce huge differences, resulting in the formation of species with hierarchical characteristics. Racial Darwinism can criticize racial interracial marriage just as plausibly as old-school polygenetic racial theory, claiming that racial interracial marriage weakens a group of people in its "struggle for survival", but it also has more convincing scientific evidence.
In France, Darwin's mechanical theory of evolution based on natural selection was not accepted until the 20th century. However, France has its own theory of evolution - Lamarckian evolution, which holds that acquired characteristics can be inherited. People can also use it to speak in favor of racial hierarchy. Even if they may not be able to speak in favor forever, at least they can support racial hierarchy for a long time in the future. However, although the opposition to racial marriage in French ethnological thought is getting stronger and stronger, it has not prevented or hindered many French men who left their homeland for the colonies to marry indigenous women and give birth to mixed-race children. During the same period, French colonies were much more tolerant of interracial concubinage than British colonies. Not only tolerated, but even encouraged.
The French have always done a good job in this regard.
So Diana had been living in France before.
But life is life. Diana basically never acted as Wonder Woman in France. But when she went to the United States, she immediately became Wonder Woman.
This makes the French very unhappy...
