The next morning, an Air France flight FR17 slowly landed at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, Hugh and Katyusha dressed as foreign tourists, wearing beach palm-style T-shirts and shorts, walked off the plane to the airport security checkpoint, Hugh took off his sunglasses, handed over two passports, and the security inspector looked up at Hugh: "Welcome to Paris, may I ask you to come here?" "

"Taste authentic French red wine and baked snails and improve your cooking skills." Hugh replied without hesitation.

"Sightseeing the Eiffel Tower, shopping in Paris-spring." Katyusha added.

"Then you've really come to the right place, have fun." The security officer smiled and returned Hugh's passport.

Leaving the airport, they entered the largest city in France. Paris is also the capital of the French Republic and the second largest city in Europe.

Paris is the 75th province of France, belonging to the Île-de-France region, located in the center of the Paris basin in northern France, straddling the banks of the Seine. The capital has a history of more than 1,400 years. In its development since the Middle Ages, the imprint of the past has been preserved, with the layout of certain streets having a long history and the buildings exuding a strong Renaissance artistic touch, retaining a uniform style.

Paris is a historic city, a convention capital, a creative powerhouse and a gastronomic destination. The inhabitants of Paris bring vibrancy to the city of dreams and create a unique mark on the city of flowers. It is the world-famous capital of fashion and romance, and the famous German poet Rilke once said, "Paris is a city like no other." ”

Today, Paris is not only a political, economic, technological, cultural and fashion center of the world, but also a tourist destination, attracting countless guests and tourists from all continents every day with its unique charm.

Hugh and Katyusha dodged the constant traffic near the airport to the airport subway station, where they boarded the train through the Arc de Triomphe, the doors closed, and headed for their destination.

Hugh received a text message from Melinda: "The residence has been arranged, in a private house on the Champs-Élysées in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, and the secret service has simply transformed it into a safe house. The Secret Service has been waiting downstairs for a long time, and he will lead you into the room for a brief introduction. You can check his location on the electronic map. ”

The Champs-Élysées is a famous street in the city of Paris. According to a common French saying, she is considered the most beautiful street in Paris. Her original name was the Elysée pastoral street, which is taken from the Greek myth of "fairy in mythology", and its French word is **enuedeschampse***ees. Champs means pastoral, and e***ees means "Elysium" or "Paradise". As a result, some people jokingly call this street a "walled" and "happy land", while the French describe it as "the most beautiful street in the world".

The Champs-Élysées runs through the main east-west thoroughfare of the capital Paris, with a length of about 2.5 kilometers and two 8-lane avenues, on which the National Day is celebrated every year. The street starts from Place de la Concorde in the east to Place Charles de Gaulle (also known as Place de la Etoile) in the west, and the eastern section is dominated by natural scenery; On both sides is a flat lawn, quiet and peaceful; The western section is a high-end business district. First-class clothing stores and perfume shops are concentrated here.

Many novels about the 18th and 19th centuries describe its prosperity. It was an entertainment paradise for the aristocracy and the emerging bourgeoisie. For example, Alexandre Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo", Alexandre Dumas's "La Traviata", Balzac's "The Tall Old Man" and other works. The Count of Monte Cristo is the base of revenge at 30 Champs-Élysées. The translation of the name "Champs-Élysées" was given by Mr. Xu Zhimo when he was studying in France.

"It's a luxury, and the cost of housing in the 8th arrondissement is not cheap." Hugh gave Katyusha a staggered expression.

"When you open the window, you can see the Arc de Triomphe and the Place Charles de Gaulle." Katyusha spoke with joy and excitement that could not be concealed. "I'm going to take a good look at Cartier and Hermès' new bags this summer, as well as the fragrances."

Hugh nodded and smiled, but thought to himself, "Hey, woman." There is no resistance to these things at all. When you see these specialty stores on the street, you can't help but be drawn to them by their infinite magic. ”

Hugh's watch shook, and Garnett sent a text message with the title of Dr. Cottmia's profile: "The doctor has devoted his life to the research of nuclear energy portability and miniaturization, trying to change the long-term history of nuclear fuel rods can only be released in nuclear power plants, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and nuclear submarines with the help of bulky nuclear reactors, and has made breakthroughs in this field, and the miniature nuclear reactor carried by the Raptor prototype is the crystallization of his life's work, only the size of half a door, However, it can safely and efficiently release nuclear energy, which greatly improves the mobility and endurance of the raptor, and at the same time, the thermal energy knife of the raptor is also driven by nuclear energy. Without nuclear power units, the combat effectiveness of the Raptor would have been reduced by at least several orders of magnitude, and the results of his research are of extremely great strategic significance to both our side and the United States, so they are bound to win it. ”

Hugh looked at Katyusha and saw that she was also looking up the same content.

"Paris is truly a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, not only the headquarters of UNESCO, but also the home of many Nobel laureates, and now with the birth of Dr. Kortmia, who has completely changed the world's energy landscape." Hugh exclaimed.

"The doctor participated in the research project of the raptor and contributed his own research results, and I always have a bad premonition about his future fate." Katyusha looked up and looked at Hugh.

"The birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked. On the Raptor project, the Doctor has fulfilled his historic mission. It is not a good thing for the Japan-US alliance that he continues to live, and this should be something they do not want to see. Hugh reasoned.

At this time, the sweet voice of the conductor came from the train: "The Arc de Triomphe station has arrived, please bring your luggage and belongings, prepare to get off the train, and welcome to the Paris metro again." ”

Hugh and Katyusha stepped off the train and followed the bustling crowd toward the ground.

The magnificent Arc de Triomphe greeted their eyes.

The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile (French: Arc de Triomphe del 'étoile) is located in the middle of Place Charles de Gaulle in Paris, France, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, by order of the French Emperor Napoleon I. It represents the invincibility and indestructibility of Napoleon's army.

As the name suggests, the Arc de Triomphe is a gate that welcomes the triumphant armies who go out to war. It is the largest round arch in the world, located on the roundabout in the center of Paris, on the Place Charles de Gaulle. This square is also built with the lion triumphal arch, because after the triumphal arch was completed, it brought inconvenience to the traffic, so in the middle of the 19th century, a circular square and 12 roads were built around the triumphal arch, each road is 40~80 meters wide, radial, just like the brilliant light emitted by the stars, so this square is also called the star square. The Arc de Triomphe is also known as the "Star Gate". The Arc de Triomphe is located right at the end of the famous Champs-Élysées.

There is an elevator inside the Arc de Triomphe, which leads to the 50-meter-high arch. One can also climb the spiral stone staircase up 273 steps. There is a small historical museum on it. Pictures and historical documents on the history of the construction of the Arc de Triomphe are on display, as well as pictures of Napoleon's life and deeds. In addition, there are two cinema screening rooms dedicated to documentaries on the history of Paris, narrated in English and French. Visitors can also go up to the large platform at the top of the museum, from which they can enjoy a spectacular view of Paris, the prosperity of the Champs-Elysées, the Eiffel Tower, and the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Sacré-Coeur Cathedral on the Seine. On the four sides of the two pillars of the Arc de Triomphe there are four famous floral reliefs: March, Victory, Peace and Resistance. It represents the triumphal artistic conception on 4 different levels.

In November 1920, after the First World War, a "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" was built under this magnificent triumphal arch, where an unknown soldier who died in the Great War is buried. He represents the 1.5 million French officers and soldiers who died throughout the war. Almost every day, people come here to lay flowers to mourn the dead soldiers, which adds a kind of tragic pride to the Arc de Triomphe.
