The First World War is arguably the deadliest war in human history, with countless large-scale corps battles over the course of four years, and these classic battles are also the most interesting points, but even so, we still can't hide the shining light of individuals in this war, such as a man named Mata Brown. Harriet's woman is one of them.
She was ostensibly a celebrity, but in fact she was a double spy who roamed between Germany and France, and under her manipulation, more than 50,000 French soldiers were killed on the battlefield, 17 Allied warships were killed at sea, and even the British army commander at that time was not spared!
So what is going on? Why did Harriet want to be a spy when she had a face that captivated the country and the city, and what happened to her after causing the British and French to lose their troops?
Beautiful curse
In 1876, Harriet was born in a small town in the northern Dutch province of Friesland in a merchant family, his father was very talented in business, relying on an ancestral hat shop to make a lot of money by investing in oil and stocks.
This person is Harrie's mother, and under the confusion of Eastern and Western blood, Harrie is also like most mixed-race children, she has been slim since she was a child, with both Western angular facial features, and the soft facial lines of Oriental women, coupled with the influence of a wealthy family, her temperament is even better, so that although she has no aristocratic blood, she is undoubtedly a living lady in anyone's opinion.
Normally, Harrie should indeed be a lady of Dutch high society, but unfortunately, God seemed to play a big joke on her, and at the age of fourteen, one night, her fate changed drastically.
Because of listening to the rumors of profiteers, his father, who failed to invest, became poor overnight, and in order not to pay off his debts and not implicate his wife, he finally chose to divorce and went to the countryside alone with several children to join relatives.
And then their family's experience also really confirmed what is called human warmth, those relatives who were extremely enthusiastic in the past heard the news of their bankruptcy, not only did not lend a helping hand but made it difficult in every way, beating and humiliating things happened from time to time, especially for Harrie, the women in the countryside were jealous of her beauty and even made up some foul language, which directly shattered Harrie's last self-esteem, and at the same time made her suffer from the thoughts of the outlaws.
As soon as she heard that the innocent-looking Harriet was so unbearable behind her back, some people immediately couldn't sit still, such as the principal of the boarding school she attended, in order to vent the beastly desire in her heart, this well-dressed beast actually raped Harrie on a rainy night.
After this, Harriet had already broken down, and she couldn't help but start giving up on herself after losing her virginity, so at the age of nineteen, when she heard that a divorced naval officer in his forties was publicly proposing marriage, in order to get rid of the nightmare, in order to escape from this place of right and wrong, and in order to live a good life, she chose to agree without thinking about it.
In this way, Harrie, who was not yet twenty years old, got married, married to her husband who was born in a wealthy family and had a lot of money, but it is a pity that this marriage is actually glamorous on the surface, and her depressed husband in the military not only often drinks heavily, but also uses domestic violence countless times to vent his inner emotions.
This pain lasted for a whole decade, but fortunately, just when Harrie was about to bear it anymore, her own flesh and blood dragged her out of the sea of misery with her life, and after the death of her son, Harrie finally found an excuse for divorce, but unfortunately, under the power of her husband, in the end she just left the house, not to mention how much property she shared, and even the last daughter was forcibly taken away by the other party.
In 1904, Harriet, who had nothing, finally left her hometown and went to live in France, at first, in this beautiful foreign land, her life was not bad, but after a long time, she gradually realized that something was wrong, with the expenses like flowing water, her savings were gradually bottoming out, there was no way, if she wanted to survive, Harriet could only find a stable job, but at that time, as a divorced woman who was nearly thirty years old, it was not an easy thing.
Helpless, seeing that it was too difficult to find a serious job, Harriet could only target some "not very serious" jobs, fortunately, with her outstanding appearance and cold temperament, soon a Parisian theater took a fancy to her, and as for the position that the other party was willing to provide, it couldn't be simpler, that is, a stripper!
Yes, that's right, in order to survive, Harriet has been reduced to a dusty woman, of course, she is just selling her art and not selling herself, except for the scale of the dance, which is not mixed with the so-called money and sex transactions.
Harriet was already very satisfied with this, but what people never expected was that her first performance on stage completely changed her fate.
became famous and became a spy
Born in a wealthy family, she married into a wealthy family and was beaten by domestic violence, and with no choice but to do anything, the mixed-race beauty Harriet chose to divorce and came to France alone to perform striptease for a living, but what no one expected was that she became famous directly and became the most dazzling star in Paris at that time!
Continuing from the above, on her debut on stage, relying on the Indonesian dance she learned from her mother since childhood, coupled with her beautiful face, tall figure, and delicate look, Harrie's striptease instantly won a full house, not only that, but her name also resounded in Paris overnight, attracting dignitaries from all walks of life to come to cheer for her, not to mention, but also earned her unimaginable wealth.
However, as the saying goes, there are pros and cons to everything, because she is too famous, there are countless people who covet her beauty, and under pressure, the director of the theater had to coerce and lure Harriet, forcing her to sell her body, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, no way, in order to keep her job, Harriet dedicated herself for the first time, there are one and two, and gradually she is also reduced to a "high-class prostitute" who specializes in serving the powerful of various countries.
It is naturally uncomfortable to be bullied by a group of old men with fat stomachs, but after a long time, Harrie has gradually become accustomed to this kind of life, and it is not difficult to understand the reason, sitting on the BMW car and bicycle is crying, why didn't she choose a more comfortable environment?
That's it, Harriet fell, of course, in that era when women's lives were like mustard, situations like her abounded, which is nothing to be ironic about, after all, it has always been human nature to laugh at poverty and not at prostitution, and when it comes to the question, as a "high-class prostitute", how did Harriet later become a double spy?
It turned out that this was all the "credit" of a senior official of the German High Command, and when watching Harriet's performance, this senior official fell in love with this enchanting star at a glance, but he didn't want to vent his desires, but had a more ambitious plan, that is, to train Harriet to be a spy and spy on enemy intelligence!
As for the reason, it is also very simple, firstly, a beautiful and bewitching woman has been a sharp blade since ancient times, secondly, Harriet is a Dutchman, as a citizen of a relatively neutral country, she can travel freely to any European country, and thirdly, Harriet's "fans" are too many, down to the common people, up to the dignitaries of various countries, the royal family, and even the German crown prince at that time fell under her pomegranate skirt, this is simply a natural intelligence station!
Therefore, without any hesitation, just as the clouds of war were about to envelop the European continent, the German high command intervened, and they took advantage of Harry's love of money, and smashed it directly with 20,000 francs when they met for the first time, and not only that, but they also promised that as long as they obtained useful information, there would be more generous rewards each time.
Hearing this, Harrie, who was worried about the debt problem, naturally had no reason to refuse, so from this moment on, an exciting task was added to her daily work, that is, to spy on information about Germany while serving officials and nobles of various countries!
In this regard, at first, Harriet said that it was false not to be afraid, but who knows, when she really started to act, she unexpectedly found that being a spy was so simple, she didn't have to sneak at all, as long as she was in bed, those men who stood at the pinnacle of power would involuntarily brag about their plans, especially after the outbreak of World War I, as long as Harrie showed a little worry about the war situation, those high-ranking officials would pretend to be a gesture, and then say their own troop deployment, and finally have to add:
"You think I'm amazing, right?"
The vanity and competitiveness of men became Harriet's best umbrella, and Germany also made a lot of money through this, because they were the first to learn the details of the French war, they seized the opportunity to occupy a great initiative, and destroyed the enemy's 50,000 troops in the first war, and even more, after Harriet's night with the French Minister of the Navy, Germany got the coveted French communication codebook, and then made seventeen Allied warships directly buried in the sea!
And not only France, follow-up, due to the British and Tsarist Russia successively entered the war, the German High Command ordered Harriet to target the British high-level soldiers, of course, this is also a piece of cake for Harriet, just a few eyes, she fascinated the British army of various senior generals almost fought, and at this time, she was also smart to hide behind the British Army Commander Kitchener, which caused the aging general's heart to pound.
After that, everything seemed to be logical, and the two spent a wonderful night that day, taking advantage of Kitchener's bath, Harley also successfully completed the task assigned to him by the command, and got the route and time of Kitchener's action, so that the Germans only laid a few mines in advance, and directly let the supreme commander of the British Army successfully die in the sea.
With such a credit, Harrie should be the first, but unfortunately, this move also exposed her identity.
The double spy Xiang Xiaoyu died
After the outbreak of World War I, the German military relied on the intelligence support of the star Harriet, successfully killed 50,000 French troops, annihilated 17 Allied warships, and even assassinated the British Army Commander-in-Chief Kitchener in one fell swoop.
It is no wonder that the first person to suspect Harriet was actually the British intelligence service, after all, the commander-in-chief of the army is dead, how can they not investigate? And after a series of investigations and investigations, sure enough, they really found evidence of Harriet's contact with Germany.
Therefore, without hesitation, the British immediately informed their ally France of the news, and the French counterintelligence service did not dare to delay and quickly arrested Harry.
In the interrogation room, I thought that it would take some means to pry open the mouth of this beautiful spy, but what the French never expected was that in less than five minutes, Harrie confessed her identity as a spy, but unlike other soft bones, Harriet did not show the slightest panic, only to see that she first elegantly lit a lady's cigarette, and then made a suggestion to the interrogators in a hurry.
Basically speaking, she provided information to the Germans entirely because of money, and she had no loyalty to Germany, so as long as France offered a higher price, she was fully willing to serve France, and use her intelligence network in Germany to provide intelligence for France in turn!
Hearing this, the French high-level wanted to refuse, but perhaps there were Harrie's admirers among the high-level who interceded, or perhaps they took a fancy to Harrie's excellent "business ability", in the end, they still chose to compromise and agreed to Harrie's all conditions, making her the first double female spy in the history of the world!
Since then, Harriet has been moving between the German and French governments, but surprisingly, even after being exposed, she has not stopped providing information to Germany, which has become the source of her own death.
When preparing to transmit information to Germany, due to the mistakes of the German military leadership, the telegram between them and Harriet was successfully intercepted and deciphered by the French army.
Hearing this, countless people pleaded for Harrie throughout Europe for a while, but unfortunately, in order to shirk the responsibility for the failure of the previous battle, this time the French were serious and did not negotiate, and finally shot her in October 1917.
After Harriet's death, because the body was unclaimed, the French government donated it to the local medical school, and for various reasons, the medical school did not bury Harriet, but cut off her head, embalmed, beautified and other treatments, and successfully restored to its original appearance, and was permanently preserved in the Anatotomi Museum, or until it was stolen in 2000.
