Matisse directed the inspection convoy toward the Louvre Museum.

When it comes to the Louvre, almost everyone in the world knows it.

Its fame is well-deserved, especially considering the Mona Lisa, a masterpiece housed within.

Besides the Mona Lisa, the museum also houses countless other art treasures such as the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace.

Driving along this street, you can tour another 10 famous art galleries and museums.

Matisse recalls that Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait" and Monet's "Water Lilies" are housed in the Musée d'Orsay.

At the Rodin Museum, Rodin's sculptures "The Thinker" and "The Gates of Hell" should already be loaded onto trucks.

Musée du Quai Branly, Centre Pompidou, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Musée Marmodan, National Museum of Natural History, Musée de l'Orangerie...

The Curie Scientific Institute, the National Space Research Center, the Buster Institute for Atomic Energy, the French National Strategic Reserve Center...

This string of important names is enough to demonstrate the magnitude of Mattis's responsibility in this mission.

As one of the world's five largest cities, Paris's wealth and historical heritage are truly formidable.

....................................

It's 5 p.m.

In the Gobolin neighborhood of the 13th arrondissement in southern Paris, a number of men dressed in black and wearing black masks emerged from some Chinatown-style buildings.

These people seemed to have made a pact, and they walked into the street in groups, constantly converging on various municipal offices, police stations, and other locations within the neighborhood...

They were carrying either AK-47s or submachine guns.

Each person also had more than one hand grenade clipped to their waist.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the street at that moment.

It was time to leave work, and staff from municipal and public security units were rushing to leave their posts.

For these French roosters, what does it matter how tense things are outside? They'll drink when they want to drink, and kiss when they want to kiss.

The romantic life of the Gauls could not be disrupted.

On the streets of the 13th arrondissement, apart from the occasional patrol car, you can hardly see any military vehicles transporting goods. Paris's museums and important places are basically not located in this area.

"Boom!"

"Da da da... da da da..."

"Boom! Boom..."

Suddenly, a series of gunshots and deafening explosions rang out in the relatively quiet District 13.
