How much courage does it take to kill a beautiful woman?
Queen Mary of Louis XVI was put on the guillotine before her execution.
Because his hands were tied, one accidentally did not stand still and stepped on the executioner's feet.
But this former high-ranking queen, because of one of her own inadvertent mistakes, actually said to the executioner with shame on her face-
"Sorry, you know, I didn't mean it."
In the face of death, she displayed a calm and unhurried aristocratic spirit, which made the executioner awe-inspiring.
In "The Evolution of the Gods", before Dai Ji was executed...
Kneeling on the ground and calling out to the executioner a few times, the men were so weak that they could not raise their blades.
More than 100 years ago, a legendary female spy was executed on the outskirts of France.
Even before her death, she wore a magnificent black velvet cloak, a black wide-brimmed hat, and a pair of beautiful red high heels on her feet to walk to the "guillotine".
11 snipers aimed at the woman in her costume.
She faced death with a flying kiss, ending the life of a magnificent legend.
Her name is Mata Hari.
She is one of the most legendary female spies in the history of the world.
From the obscure small-town girl, to the strippers who sensationalize Paris, to the double agents left and right...
Even after her death, she was still criticized and debated, and her experience was made into film and theater many times.
Men loved her and longed for her.
She wandered through the upper circles of Europe during the war.
The magnates of France, Germany, and Russia have done everything in their power to get the chance to have a spring supper with her.
Without any background, she rose to the top step by step with her enchanting dance posture, and she turned purple in Paris.
Even the famous Hollywood Golden Age film queen, the noble and cold "Queen of Sweden" Greta Garbo, has performed her gorgeous and dirty life in later movies.
Greta Garbo played Marta Harley in Marta the Witch
After Marta's death, her head was still collected by the French Museum and later reportedly stolen by her admirers.
In Marta's hometown of Levaton, the Dutch even built statues and museums for her, viewing her as a legendary female figure.
In 1876, in a small town in Levarton, the Netherlands, Marta Harley was born.
She was the second of four children and was the only girl in the family.
His father was a farmer who owned a hat shop and lived a prosperous life, and his mother was Indonesian.
The Mixed Eastern and Western Marta, with smooth skin, and an Oriental black hair and dark eyes, is particularly charming.
She had a very prosperous childhood, and her father had a successful business and provided Marta with a quality children's education.
But when Marta is 13 years old, her father's hat business is getting depressed and misguided to lose a lot in a stock speculation business...
So the property was sold to pay off the debt, and the family moved into a poor house...
Unable to bear the pain of failure, my father went to Amsterdam to find an opportunity to make a comeback, but never returned.
After her father went bankrupt, she divorced her mother, and Little Marta followed her mother back to her mother's house.
Since then, marta and her brother, who are only 14 years old, have dispersed to various places, and have been taken care of by relatives or churches, respectively.
In 1891, when Marta was 15 years old, her mother died in despair.
As she grew up day by day, Marta came out with a mysterious charm of the East and a plump figure of a white woman.
At the age of 18, Marta happened to read an advertisement for marriage in the newspaper.
The conscript is a formerly divorced Dutch naval officer 22 years her senior who is about to move to Indonesia.
In order to end her wandering and lonely life under the fence, Marta took the initiative to contact each other and consummated her marriage a week later.
When Marta was only 19 years old, she found out after marrying into the door that her husband was often drunk, often promiscuous outside, had countless mistresses, and openly accepted a concubine according to local customs, and liked domestic violence.
In order to live, Marta endured.
Soon after the marriage, the two soon had a man and a woman.
Unfortunately, one of their sons died unexpectedly in 1899, and the already incompatible relationship between the couple was exacerbated.
During this unhappy marriage, it was dance that saved her, and she began to practice dance with her teacher.
Who expected the scumbag husband to take their only daughter and abandon Marta back to Holland.
Heartbroken, Marta traveled to Paris alone to find her way out.
She works as a dancer in a theater, and the locals are filled with intense curiosity about this exotic girl.
The enchanting dance posture and bold naked body became Marta's winning magic weapon in that relatively conservative era.
She also made up her life— claiming to be a princess of the Javanese high priestess who had been immersed in the sacred art of religious dance since childhood, adding to her legendary color.
The new identity of the dancer also gave Marta a new feeling.
She quickly became the object of high society, and she was smart enough to go with the flow, and in the days to come, she took off less and less clothes...
At that time, many Europeans had never been to the East, and they were naturally attracted by the mysterious and long-standing culture of the East.
Everyone is pursuing the products and art of the East, especially in the high society that likes to compare mistresses, and the "inclusion of sexy and beautiful Marta" in the cabinet has become the trend of that circle.
For this reason, European media outlets praised Marta as follows: "She is slender and tall, with blue-black hair, and has the elegance and wildness of a feline." ”
Marta the Witch
The magnates and dignitaries were fascinated by this oriental object, believing that Marta had a Western-style "exotic" flowing through her.
Since then, Marta has begun a career as a showgirl for nearly a decade, and she also enjoys her success and indulges in luxurious material life.
It can be said that money and sex have run through Marta's life. Marta in life is also as casual and indulgent as her dance.
Perhaps it was her early years of debauchery that made her very bold and unbridled attitude to life, but this character allowed her to navigate the rich class at that time.
However, the showgirl is only a youth meal after all, and as she ages, Marta's career begins to decline.
In order to maintain her usual extravagant life, she began to be the mistress of many high-ranking officials, exchanging her flesh for her expanding material desires, and was once ridiculed as a "high-class prostitute".
In 1914, World War I broke out.
One day, an officer in the German intelligence service inadvertently enjoyed Marta's performance.
The audience was amazed and crazy by Marta's charming dance, and out of professional instinct, he keenly judged that Marta was definitely a natural "spy embryo".
The flies did not sting seamless eggs, and after the performance, the officer threw a huge sum of money from his superiors in front of Marta.
He told her: "Serve Germany and you will get more".
This move made Marta, who was depressed in life and worried about money, unable to refuse.
After all, from luxury to frugality, she naturally and happily accepted the German commission, and in the future, she used her body to make the magnates of various countries "submit" and use the joy of the bed to steal secret military reports.
Because of the high offer with Marta's "Spring Supper Night", the men she came into contact with were often people with high secrets and backgrounds, and most of the information she got was very high-quality.
When Marta, who loves money like money, realizes that her intelligence is very valuable, she becomes more and more greedy and begins to "eat inside and outside"——
She also agreed to France's request to spy on German intelligence and became a double agent.
Desire overwhelms people.
Because of the information she stole, many French soldiers died, and many German soldiers became victims, and tens of thousands of lives died because of her.
She also has the extremely rare privilege of free access to multiple countries.
As the war progressed, Marta feared that one day the anti-German forces would triumph and her life would be lost, so she began to move closer to France in a planned way.
Finally, Marta's frequent visits to different countries aroused suspicion among those involved.
In 1917, a telegram intercepted by French intelligence revealed Marta's true identity.
On February 13 of that year, in Paris, France, a high-end hotel.
Marta dragged her tired body back to her room to rest, she had been on a tour in Spain a few days earlier, but she didn't expect the god of hell to come so soon.
A group of soldiers broke into the hotel room and held her under control: "Miss Spy, you are arrested. ”
Soon after, Marta was sent to a French court-martial and found that she must bear the responsibility for the sacrifice of 50,000 French soldiers in the early days of World War I, sentencing her to death for "espionage".
On October 15, 1917, Marta embarked on her final journey of death in a wide-brimmed black hat, a pair of black sheepskin gloves, and a pair of beautiful red dancing shoes on her feet.
Before her execution, Marta gave a flying kiss to the young soldiers of the execution team, frightening the captain into quickly ordering the shooting.
After the gunshots rang out, Marta slowly knelt on the ground, staring at the people who had taken her life, and quietly walked to another world...
