Chapter 2059

"You want me to explore the underground corpse cave?" Diana didn't eat much chicken when the French intelligence agency came to her door. In fact, the issue of the personal identity of superheroes has long been no secret.

Many people will go to investigate the personal identity of superheroes. And it is really impossible to hide this thing 100%... Reality is not anime or movies, no one can really hide their identity.

In the modern society we live in, there are cameras everywhere, pointing to every corner, and people have achieved real-time communication and share their discoveries at any time. So even if it is Superman, he has super speed, his identity as Clark and his identity as Superman can be connected through clues. So even if it is Superman, he has super speed, his identity as Clark and his identity as Superman can be connected through clues. It's just that it doesn't take long to discover this secret, and it takes longer to prove and confirm it. Anyway, as long as you keep taking action, the evidence will be clear in a week at most.

The real reason why the personal identities of superheroes have not been disclosed on a large scale so far is actually because of the efforts made by Kai and Tony. They dealt with the government!

Otherwise...

Don't think that the Internet is really powerful and can spread information at will.

In fact, the Internet you know is also subject to pervasive supervision!

For many years, the United States has abused its technological advantages under the guise of "national interests" and unscrupulously implemented Internet surveillance around the world, creating a veritable "Internet surveillance empire" that secretly extends its surveillance tentacles to almost every corner of the world. "Surveillance" is an important part of American hegemony. The United States' surveillance of other countries originated as early as during World War II. In March 1941, the United States and Britain began to consider establishing an intelligence cooperation relationship, and accelerated cooperation after the "Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor" incident, and formally established an intelligence sharing mechanism. After the end of World War II, this intelligence cooperation relationship between the United States and Britain did not stop, but deepened further. The two countries signed the "Anglo-American Defense Agreement" in 1946 to jointly collect and share intelligence related to the Soviet Union and other members of the Warsaw Pact. Based on this agreement, the three Great Britain Commonwealth countries of Canada, Australia and New Zealand also joined the British-American intelligence cooperation and jointly formed the "Five Eyes Alliance". Against the backdrop of the Cold War, the "Five Eyes Alliance" opened the prelude to the United States' global surveillance and became a key tool for the United States to build and maintain world hegemony. With the application and development of network technology, the United States' global surveillance has been further strengthened. The Central Intelligence Agency of the United States has a strong hacking capability and can secretly invade many smart devices such as mobile phones, computers and even smart TVs to illegally collect information. After the "9.11" terrorist attacks, the United States introduced a number of laws such as the "Patriot Act", granting the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies anti-terrorism surveillance privileges, establishing a larger-scale network monitoring and surveillance system, intercepting and long-term storage of citizens' communication data, using roaming eavesdropping devices to monitor suspects' calls, tracking "lone wolf" terrorist suspects, etc. From a technical point of view, the US monitoring system has long exceeded the needs of anti-terrorism and has become a tool for the United States to promote hegemony and interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

It is even more impossible for the United States to relax in terms of the Internet.

Intelligence agencies such as the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency have always been the main force of the United States in network attacks and surveillance. Since World War I, these agencies have been engaged in communication espionage activities. With the gradual popularization of the Internet, these agencies have transformed themselves into the main agencies for network espionage. Not only that, the United States has also comprehensively developed cyber attack and espionage tools, continuously lowering the threshold for cyber attacks and surveillance on other countries, and has a bad record in cyber attacks and surveillance.

Since 2005, the National Security Agency of the United States has been building a series of network monitoring systems represented by "Turbulence". For example, the "Prism" project uses data from Google and Facebook in the United States to conduct network monitoring, the "Trunk" and "Wharf" projects use global telecommunications providers to monitor communications, and the "Nuclear" project intercepts global communications content. Through these projects, the US intelligence agencies can monitor any designated target in the world and store everyone's every move, from politicians to ordinary citizens.

The National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency have built a large-scale cyber attack infrastructure that can imitate the network addresses of any country and have strong anti-tracing capabilities. This means that the United States can use false identities to launch cyber attacks on other countries or their netizens, but it is difficult to trace the real mastermind behind the scenes. To be absolutely sure, U.S. intelligence agencies have also implemented projects such as the "Arch" program, which aims to monitor cybersecurity companies in China, Russia and other countries and analyze whether cybersecurity vendors have discovered and mastered their cyber attack weapons and activities.

The United States has long been planning to use the Internet as a "tool" to undermine the stability of other countries' regimes. Since 2008, the U.S. State Department has invested $20 million to fund relevant institutions to develop TOR technology ("Onion" routing technology) that can access the international Internet but cannot be tracked, and provide it free of charge to anti-government personnel in Iran, Tunisia, Egypt and other countries to ensure that those "dissident youth who want to shake the rule of their own government" can avoid the censorship and surveillance of the local legitimate government when participating in activities. In 2010 alone, its download volume exceeded 36 million times. The Internet technology provided by the United States to anti-government personnel in other countries is far more than TOR technology. According to a report by AFP in 2011, then-U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner revealed that in the previous two years, the U.S. government had invested about $50 million in the development of new network technologies specifically for breaking through network blockades, avoiding network tracking and achieving emergency contacts. One of the new technologies is called the "panic button", which allows protesters to immediately clear the contact list on their mobile phones after being arrested. The report said that the US State Department said it also funded US private companies to develop more than a dozen different technologies to break through the cybersecurity "firewall". An anonymous State Department official said that one of them was very successful in Iran and spread throughout the Middle East.

Sitting on the "world's largest cyber arsenal" to export unrest, the United States also calls it "Internet freedom".

This is still the United States in a parallel time and space. The United States in this time and space has a more powerful level of technology. Although it has declined in recent years, it is still the world's top level in this regard. Helping a few superheroes to cover up their true identities is really not a big deal.

Otherwise, the identities of many superheroes cannot be covered up.

The most typical one is Spider-Man... Peter thought he was hiding well, but in fact even the New York Police Department knew Spider-Man's identity well. It's just that on the one hand, the government helped to hide it, and on the other hand, everyone had a natural goodwill towards this child.

Otherwise, he would have been exposed long ago.

By the way, speaking of it, he is still a minor, so he is naturally treated preferentially in this regard.

"We have such an idea!" The staff who came to contact Diana did not act arrogantly just because they were government officials... In fact, as long as the IQ is positive, they will not be arrogant when asking for help. The kind of people who come up and use their identity as government officials to make things clear, and command others to do what they want to do from a high position... This kind of IQ basically cannot get along in the government.

"But more importantly, we hope that you can support the exploration team. Our real idea is that we hope you can assist us during this period. You don't need to go down in person."

Yes, the Gauls did not intend to use it to death, and directly let Diana rush into the corpse cave... That is the stupidest way, after all, Wonder Woman is not just herself. I heard that there was a mess in Chicago. If Diana was threatened to die here, Diana would turn around and go back to Chicago, and they would have nothing.

In addition, Wonder Woman has a lot of good friends!

This is the advantage of connections!

"The government has actually reorganized a group of expedition teams and plans to let them go down. What you need to do is to meet them at the entrance of the corpse cave."

France naturally has extraordinary power, but... it's hard to describe.

A large part of the mutants in France are not native French... There is no way, France has not done a good job in the assimilation of immigrants in recent years.

The centrifugal force is terrifying, and many superpowers are troubles for the government.

And the strength cannot be compared with Wonder Woman.

Diana has no resistance to this. Diana is from Paradise Island. In essence, she has nothing to do with these modern countries, and she has no national sentiment. The Amazon tribe she belongs to is immortal in Paradise Island!

So who to help and who not to help, there is no scruple of ordinary people.

Since I am in France, it's okay to help.

...

Diana agreed neatly, so the next thing will be easy.

Soon Diana was taken to the entrance of the corpse cave.

This place has been blocked by the military.

The second team of explorers has gathered.

Three of them are the most conspicuous.

Paul Pierre Duval, the "Grey Gargoyle", is a typical French middle-aged man, dressed like a playboy ready to attend a cocktail party at any time. Paul is actually a chemist, of course, not famous, at most a second-rate chemist. In an experiment, a potion of unknown composition was splashed on his right hand, and the hand turned into stone, but it can still move freely, and he can transform his whole body into the same stone texture, maintaining flexibility while possessing extraordinary physical strength and endurance.

Of course, don't expect this guy to make any contribution to the French people. This guy became a criminal. He called himself the Grey Gargoyle.

Later he was caught by the French government and then incorporated.

The right hand of the Grey Gargoyle can turn the person it touches into an immobile stone statue, which is effective for one hour.

The government actually thought about using Paul's research to develop more gargoyle warriors... Unfortunately, it was useless. It is speculated that the experiment actually only stimulated his X gene, and he is essentially just a mutant.

This guy has been staring at Diana since she appeared... As he is French, this is normal.

Beside him, there is a man in a tights, which looks like a superhero, but the two small mustaches ruin the overall temperament.

He is Bartok the Leaper, whose real name is George Bartok, a Marseilles. A former member of the French Foreign Legion, a professional mercenary, he pursues profit first. But this guy is full of romanticism. As a Frenchman, he has a natural pride and firm fighting spirit. Fighting insists on fair fighting and never attacks from behind. He thinks this method is "corrupting the honor of the warrior." Bartok the Leaper does not have superpowers, but he is at the peak of human beings in all aspects of his body. He is an Olympic champion-level weightlifter with extraordinary flexibility and reaction ability. His leg muscles are very developed, giving him Olympic champion-level jumping power. He is also an expert in hand-to-hand combat, a master of unarmed combat, and proficient in French boxing (French fighting). He is also a skilled military tactician who has served in the French Foreign Legion.

The third one is hiding in the shadows. If Diana hadn't had good eyesight, she would not have found him.

He held a sniper rifle, hiding in the shadows, observing everyone with a cold look.

He is the secret weapon of the French intelligence agency - Peregrine Falcon!

Of course, this is just what the French think. In fact, this guy's real identity is a spy... a spy from S.H.I.E.L.D.

This is not surprising. Kissinger once said: It is dangerous to be an enemy of the United States, but it is fatal to be a friend of the United States.

No one cares what this sentence originally meant. Because from the experience of these years, this sentence is really right! The Americans are really not soft-hearted when pitting their allies. What's the point of planting spies? It's not uncommon to blatantly eavesdrop on the heads of allies.

Of course, so far, the true identity of Peregrine Falcon has been a secret. When the United States was powerful, this secret was not dangerous, but in the current international situation, this secret is very fatal. At present, the identity of Peregrine Falcon has been secretly sealed, and only a very small number of people in S.H.I.E.L.D. and the White House know it. Others don't know it.

It's even more impossible for the French to know.

Diana didn't know what the peregrine falcon was capable of, at least the French side hadn't introduced him in detail.

Diana didn't get to the bottom of it, after all, she was a guest.

After the Chicago incident, Diana wasn't very keen on communicating with government officials, these people had eight hundred minds.

At that time, the gray gargoyle would be annoying, and he kept trying to be attentive to Diana.

French men, everyone can understand.

But this guy is absolutely a top-notch guy, always with a sense of superiority, as if Diana should look at him differently.

If Diana didn't want to cause trouble, she would definitely punch him.

Judging from his appearance, he would cry for a long time after being punched.
