She is a very popular stripper in Paris, wandering in the upper class of Europe; She is also a double-faced spy, and finally faces death with a kiss. Because it was so beautiful, the head was preserved and stored in the museum, but it was finally stolen by admirers.
from rural girls to red and purple porn stars.
Matahali, formerly known as margaretha geertruida zelle, was born in a small town in the Netherlands in 1876. Her father was a farmer and ran a hat shop, and her mother was from Java, Indonesia. Zeli inherited her father's tall figure and her mother's oriental appearance, and she had beautiful black hair. Zelli, the only daughter in the family, has been loved since childhood.
When Zelli was 13 years old, his father divorced his mother after his business failed, and Zelli moved to a slum with his father. My father went out to look for a chance to make a comeback, but it never came back. Zelli and his brothers were fostered by relatives or churches, and his mother died when Zelli was 15 years old.
Perhaps Zelli, who was living under the fence, needed the warmth of his family too much. He accidentally saw an personals in the newspaper. Zelli, who was only 19 years old, married himself to a naval officer who was 22 years older than himself. Life after marriage is not as warm as expected. After marriage, her husband showed his true colors, drank too much, and had domestic violence ... After Zelli and the officers moved to Java, they had a son and a daughter, and the children brought Zelli some comfort.
Unfortunately, it soon befell Zelli, and her son was poisoned by her husband's enemy, which undoubtedly brought the relationship between husband and wife to freezing point. After the family returned to Holland, Zelli filed for divorce and got custody of her daughter after some efforts, but the officer's husband was dissatisfied with the court's decision and kidnapped her privately.
"As soon as she appeared, the audience under the stage went crazy."
In 194, Zelli was homeless and decided to make a living in bustling Paris. Zelli worked as a circus jockey and an art model in Paris. Fortunately, Zelli had a good figure and a good face. In order to make a living, Zelli danced in front of a Paris theater manager. At that time, few people did such a bold move. The manager looked at Zelli's graceful figure and dance with oriental charm, and he was about to be hired. And changed its name to Mata Hari, which means "Mother of God" in Sanskrit.
On March 13th, 195, the first performance of Matahari was held in the Ji Mei Museum. Accustomed to blond Europeans, Matahali's oriental face and mysterious and seductive dance attracted almost all the audience, and Matahali became famous overnight. Matahari also invented a noble birth for herself, a descendant of a Hindu from Java, who learned the mysterious dance of Hinduism from childhood.
Matahali's dance became more and more exposed, more and more famous, and became a red and purple dance star at that time. The newspaper in Paris commented that "as soon as she appeared, the audience under the stage was crazy."
Dancing stars to spies, a turning point of fate
In 1914, on the eve of the outbreak of World War I, Matahali was performing in Germany. German military officer Ba Long von Mierbach noticed that Matahali was at home in high-society communication activities, so he sprouted the idea of developing Matahali as a spy.
Matahali was surprised by the high price of German officers. She knew that she couldn't keep jumping. Sooner or later, she would get old and lose her color. Why not make more money now? Besides, in communication with powerful people, I would have heard some "secrets", and I often just used them to show off. So after agreeing to the German officer's request, Matahali was sent to a secret training base for simple spy knowledge training.
With more economic support, Matahali is dressed more brightly and moving, and at the same time, there are more and more senior officers, who are favored by dignitaries and get a lot of information for Germany.
"Ha Ji Zhi"
Matahari once had a task to steal a tank design from the French supreme commander General Mo Ergen. Matahali made a good relationship with Mo Ergen early and lived in the general's mansion.
after gaining the general's trust, one day, Matahali quietly drugged the general and went to the general's safe. Matahali has entered a number that may be a password several times, but all of them are wrong. As time goes by, it is more dangerous for Matahali to open the safe later.
It suddenly occurred to her that the general had said that he had a bad memory, and it was impossible for a person with a bad memory to remember the password in his mind. She scanned the study. At this moment, Matahali noticed that there was a wall clock on the wall that didn't fit in with the study style. She had asked the general why there was a clock hanging here, and the general replied falteringly that it was his mother's relic.
Matahari found that the time on the clock kept at 9: 35: 15, so the password might be 93515, but there is one digit missing from the six-digit password. Matahali pondered for a while, thinking of 9 o'clock, or 9 o'clock in the evening, that is, 21 o'clock, and the password might be 213515. The safe was opened, and Matahali immediately photographed the tank design with a miniature camera. Half a minute after she left the house, the cleaning servant came into the room.
Matahari's action was also called "the last half minute", and it was later used as an important skill of espionage.
Being a double-faced spy is easy
As World War I entered the stalemate, Matahali was worried that it might be dangerous to spy for Germany herself. Her heart gradually turned to France, and it happened that French intelligence personnel threw an olive branch to her (some said that Matahali took the initiative to find a Frenchman).
In this way, Matahali wandered between France and Germany as a double agent.
There is no windtight wall in the world
The espionage activities of Matahali were discovered by the British Intelligence Agency. Britain and France are both allies, and Britain reported Matahali's behavior to the French counterintelligence agency. After some investigation by the French anti-espionage agency, in February 1917, Matahali came to Paris and was arrested by France for "treason" and finally sentenced to death.
Paris's most popular showgirl was executed as a spy, and there was an uproar. Legend has it that Matahari put on the most beautiful dancing shoes and the most bright dancing clothes, blew kisses to the executioner and greeted her death calmly.
Matahali's body was eventually used for medical purposes because it was unclaimed. Matahari's head has been preserved and preserved in the Anatoly Museum in Paris. In 2, museum staff discovered that Matahali's head had mysteriously disappeared, and it was said that it had been stolen by her admirers.
As a showgirl and a double spy, Matahali's legendary life is regarded as historical materials for historical research. It is said that the Matahari Foundation and a museum about her have also been established.
