Chapter 2059
"You want me to explore the underground corpse cave?" Diana didn't take it personally when the French intelligence agency came to her door. In fact, the personal identity of superheroes was no longer a secret.
Many people will go out of their way to investigate the personal identities of superheroes. And it is really impossible to hide it 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, sharing 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, but it takes longer to prove and confirm it. Anyway, as long as we 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……
And don't ever think that the Internet is so powerful that you can spread information at will.
In fact, the Internet as you know it 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 network surveillance around the world, creating a veritable "network 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 3 to jointly collect and share intelligence related to the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact members. Based on this agreement, three Commonwealth countries, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, also joined the Anglo-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 US Central Intelligence Agency 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 1946/9 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 system, intercepting and long-term storage of citizens' communication data, using roaming wiretapping 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 less likely that the United States will relax when it comes to 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 conducting cyber attacks and surveillance. Since World War I, these agencies have been engaged in communications espionage. With the gradual popularization of the Internet, these agencies have transformed themselves into the main force of cyber espionage. Not only that, the United States has also comprehensively developed cyber attack and espionage tools, continuously lowering the threshold for carrying out cyber attacks and surveillance on other countries, and has a long history of bad deeds 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 impersonate network addresses of any country and has strong anti-tracing capabilities. This means that the United States can use fake identities to launch cyber attacks on other countries or their netizens, but it is difficult to trace the real mastermind behind the scenes. In order to be foolproof, the US intelligence agencies have also implemented projects such as the "Arch" plan, which aims to monitor cyber security companies in China, Russia and other countries, and analyze whether cyber security 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 US State Department has invested 2000 million US dollars 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 3600 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, Michael Posner, then US Assistant Secretary of State, revealed that in the previous two years, the US government had invested about 5000 million US dollars 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 network security "firewall". One was very successful in Iran and spread throughout the Middle East, according to an anonymous State Department official.
The United States possesses the "world's largest cyber arsenal" to export unrest, and it calls it "Internet freedom."
This is the United States in a parallel universe. The United States in this universe has a more advanced level of technology. Although it has declined in recent years, it is still world-class in this regard. Helping a few superheroes to conceal their true identities is not a big deal.
Otherwise, many superheroes’ identities cannot be concealed.
The most typical example is Spider-Man... Peter thought he was hiding well, but in fact even the New York Police Department knew Spider-Man's identity very well. It's just that on the one hand the government helped to hide it, and on the other hand everyone naturally had good intentions towards this kid.
Otherwise, he would have been exposed long ago.
By the way, he is still a minor, so he naturally has preferential treatment in this regard.
"We have this idea!" The staff who came to contact Diana did not act arrogantly because they were government employees... In fact, as long as the IQ is positive, they will not be arrogant when asking for help. Those who come up and use their identity as government employees to make things clear, and order others to do what they want to do in a condescending manner... This kind of IQ basically cannot get by in the government.
"But more importantly, we hope you can provide support to the exploration team. Our real hope is that you can assist us during this period. You don't need to go down in person."
Yes, the Gauls didn't plan to use it to their death, and directly let Diana rush into the corpse cave... That was the stupidest thing to do. After all, Wonder Woman is not just herself. I heard that there was trouble in Chicago. If they threatened Diana to die, Diana would turn around and go back to Chicago, and they would have nothing.
Besides, 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 send them down. All you need to do is to meet them at the entrance of the corpse cave."
France certainly has extraordinary power, but... it's hard to describe.
A large portion of the mutants in France are not native French... There's no way around it. France hasn't done a good job on the issue of immigrant assimilation in recent years.
The centrifugal force is so strong that many people with super powers are themselves a problem for the government.
And her strength cannot be compared with Wonder Woman.
Diana didn't have any resistance to this. Diana was from Paradise Island and essentially had nothing to do with these modern countries, let alone any national sentiment. The Amazon tribe she belonged to were all immortal on Paradise Island!
So he doesn’t have the usual scruples about who to help and who not to help.
Since I'm in France, it wouldn't hurt to help out.
……
Diana agreed readily, and the rest was easy.
Soon Diana was brought to the entrance of the corpse cave.
This place has been blocked by the military.
The second team of explorers has gathered.
Among them, three guys stood out the most.
Paul Pierre Duval, the "Grey Gargoyle", is a typical middle-aged French man, dressed like a playboy ready to attend a cocktail party. Paul is actually a chemist, of course, not famous, at most a mediocre chemist. During an experiment, he splashed a potion of unknown composition on his right hand, and the hand turned into stone, but it can still move freely, and he can transform his entire body into the same stone texture, maintaining flexibility while possessing extraordinary physical strength and endurance.
Of course, don't expect this guy to do anything for the French people. He became a criminal. He calls himself Grey Gargoyle.
He was later captured and incorporated by the French government.
The Gray Gargoyle's right hand can turn anyone it touches into an immobile stone statue for one hour.
The government actually wanted to use 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 a mutant.
This guy has been staring at Diana since she appeared... As he is French, this is normal.
Next to him is a man wearing a tights, which makes him look like a superhero, but the small mustache ruins his overall temperament.
He is Bartok the Leaper, whose real name is George Bartok, a native of Marseille. He is a former member of the French Foreign Legion, a professional mercenary, and pursues profit first. But this guy is full of romanticism. As a Frenchman, he has a natural pride and a firm fighting spirit. He insists on fair fighting and never attacks from behind. He believes that this method "corrupts the honor of the warrior." Bartok the Leaper does not have superpowers, but he is at the peak of human nature 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 was hiding in the shadows, and if Diana didn't have good eyesight, she wouldn't have been able to spot him.
He held a sniper rifle, hiding in the shadows, observing everyone with cold eyes.
He is the secret weapon of the French intelligence agency - the 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, as 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 based on the experience of these years, this sentence is really true! The Americans are really ruthless in pitting their allies. Planting spies is nothing, and blatant eavesdropping on the heads of allies has happened before.
Of course, up to now, Peregrine's true identity has been a secret. When the United States was powerful, this secret was not dangerous, but in today's international situation, this secret is very deadly. Currently, Peregrine's identity has been kept secret, and only a very small number of people in S.H.I.E.L.D. and the White House know it. No one else knows.
It is even less likely that the French would know.
Diana had no idea what the Peregrine Falcon was capable of, at least the French side had never emphasized him.
Diana didn't pursue the matter further, after all, she was a guest.
After what happened in Chicago, Diana was no longer keen on communicating with government officials. These people have eight hundred ulterior motives.
By then, the gray gargoyle would be quite annoying, constantly trying to court Diana.
French men, everyone can understand.
But this guy is absolutely a top-notch person, and he always has an inherent sense of superiority, as if Diana should look at him differently.
If Diana didn't want to get into trouble, she would definitely punch him.
Judging from his appearance, he would cry for a long time after being punched.
