"Kingsman? Secret service organization?" Kai looked at the plan in front of him and felt a little dizzy. He didn't quite understand Lao Fu's logic. He was still fighting for his noble status two days ago, so why did he set up a secret service organization in the blink of an eye? Is this a conspiracy to overthrow the British government? If that was really the case, Kai would have no problem with it. The British government is not his relative, so if it is overthrown, it will be overthrown. But the question is, if we really do this, shouldn’t ordinary people be affected?
Ah Fu knew as soon as he saw Kai's expression that he was thinking wrongly. So he quickly explained to Kai the position and program of this secret service organization. Finally, he explained the inspiration behind the creation of the organization. "In following you for a period of time, we have experienced a lot and understood many dark sides of the world, so we hope to do something within our power to prevent the world from falling into such a crisis again."
When Kai heard this, it was good. Kai, who was born in the military, didn't like politicians very much by nature. Sometimes those people can appear to be very far-sighted, but sometimes they can't understand the situation clearly. For example, when the First World War broke out, these politicians can't There was a lot of adding fuel and vinegar to it, otherwise the battle wouldn't have been so brutal.
"So what are your regulations?" Kai asked with some interest.
Regarding the detailed structure of the Kingsman organization, Lao Fu and a group of nobles had already discussed it many times, so when faced with Kai's inquiry, Lao Fu started talking without even a word. Not to mention, a group of people really worked hard for a great goal, and what they said was very clear and feasible.
The only thing is...
"You want my Holy Grail?"
"No, no, no, we just hope that you can be our leader. We believe that under your leadership, this organization will not deviate from our intended track." This sentence is true, but there is also some selfishness in it. "We will inherit the chivalry spirit of you and our ancestors and carry out this great cause with the world as our responsibility!"
The great Afu of the Holy Grail has the most say. Ever since he was revived by the Holy Grail, he has felt that he is different from others. To put it simply, his strength is two to three times that of ordinary people, and his reflexes are incredibly high. Although he is not a superman, he is definitely far beyond the average person.
It was also because of this that they focused on the Holy Grail. Of course they knew the drawbacks of the Holy Grail, but they didn't care. They can accept certain sacrifices for a great goal.
Kai didn't really care much about leading the secret service. Lending the Holy Grail was not a big deal to him. That thing had no special meaning to Kai, and its effect was not as great as imagined. Kai's physical fitness is doomed, and few things in this world can really hurt him.
…
In the days that followed, Kingsman's organizational structure was quickly set up, and all agents were selected by Ah Fu and others from among the noble soldiers. In order to better form this organization, Afu borrowed almost all the people from Kai, including Bedouins and Guardians, and even Americans O'Connor and Daniels were borrowed.
Only Raven and Catherine remained with him.
In fact, it was of no use leaving so many people around Kai. With the arrival of 1918, generally speaking, humans did not have much energy to cause trouble. Because everyone is focused on facing a bigger trouble.
Spanish Flu.
When Kai heard about the flu for the first time, he didn't take it seriously. As a time traveler, in the time and space he belonged to, the flu was not uncommon at all. It basically happened once or twice every year. But Kay underestimated the flu, or overestimated the medical capabilities of this era.
What Kai didn't know was that the Spanish Flu was also well-known in his own time, but it was just rarely heard of in their time. Legend has it that it was this flu that accelerated the end of the war.
Influenza broke out in a military camp in Kansas, USA, on March 4, 1918, followed by flu in China, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The only symptoms at that time were headache, high fever, muscle aches and loss of appetite. But by the autumn of 1918, it broke out in large numbers around the world.
In August 1918, influenza spread in Britain. Unlike previous influenzas, the Spanish Flu had a particularly high mortality rate among young adults aged 20 to 35. In addition to high fever and headache, its symptoms include turning blue and coughing up blood. Flu often causes complications. The most common cause of death is pneumonia. By November, London had begun to restrict citizens from going to public places, and cinemas, dance halls, sports venues, etc. were closed.
Now, almost everyone is wearing a mask and staying at home.
The London government was already beleaguered by the flu and post-war negotiations, which gave Kingsman an opportunity to grow the organization. Although some people have already noticed this organization, because Kai's platform and the government no longer have the energy to take care of it, the organization has taken shape in just over two months.
After the Kingsman organization was established, its first task was to investigate the Spanish Flu.
When influenza broke out in the UK, the Duke of Oxford, the main founder of Kingsman, had already organized experts to conduct research. They were surprised to find that among a thousand patients, there were more than 300 viruses, which meant that on average there were only 1,000 viruses. Three out of three viruses overlap!
This has brought the so-called specific drug research to a complete standstill.
Even if the specific medicine has not been developed, the expert team formed by the Duke of Oxford also gave a possibility that makes all Kingsman gentlemen tremble.
This virus, named H1N1, is a brand-new virus that can replicate and recombine and then evolve into a new virus. Such a weird virus has never been found in nature. Recombination occurs almost every time it replicates, rather than recombination and mutation after thousands of replications.
This is exactly what is scary about it. The constant mutations mean that it is impossible to develop targeted specific medicines. After extracting virus samples and conducting in-depth research, the expert team was surprised to find that the virus was very likely a semi-finished product! They appear to be incomplete and still evolving. As the mystery continued to unfold, the expert team made a bold assumption, that is, the influenza virus did not come from nature, but was developed by outsiders. Then all these unusual characteristics make sense. These are all set up by humans!
This discovery made everyone think of biochemical warfare for the first time!
In the war that just ended, Europeans had already seen the power of biological and chemical weapons. Germany has always been conducting research in this area, which made the gentlemen of Kingsman immediately think that this was the work of the Germans.
But the subsequent investigation left a group of people dumbfounded. Germans are also infected with this virus, and there are still many people infected. If the Germans developed this virus, and they seem to have no reason to spread it in Germany, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot?
Kingsman then turned his sights to where the flu first appeared—the United States!
The first cases of the Spanish Flu were discovered in a military camp in Kansas, USA. It just so happened that there was a chemical plant not far from the military camp. Not only that, just before the influenza occurred, there was also an outbreak in this chemical plant. A breach.
This forced the gentlemen of Kingsman to set their sights on the United States.
What makes these gentlemen even more suspicious is that the United States has been causing trouble in Europe during this period, and is very motivated to overthrow Britain from its position as the world's hegemon. They continue to advocate the policy of "national self-determination" and want all colonies to be independent!
The Americans are poking at the foundation of their colonial empire! Once the colonies are allowed to become independent on a large scale, will Britain and France still be world empires? Britain and France may still be a big country without their colonies, but they are definitely not a great power. Most of their strength lies in their colonies!
The Americans have really good ideas. As long as they defeat the colonial empires, they will be the boss of the new era. With a move of national consciousness, they can dismantle most of the powerful countries in the world. It's a pity that they forgot that once the window paper is punctured, the consequences will be very serious. Their proposal has disgusted not only Britain and France, but also the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, and Japan. Who is not glaring at them now!
So in the later stages of the negotiations, the United States was excluded by European groups. This is why many people say that the United States did not obtain the corresponding status after World War I.
Even Kay, a political idiot, thought the Americans were crazy after seeing the information sent back from Versailles.
So when it comes to the mastermind behind this flu, Americans really have this motive. After all, others have always wanted to compete for world hegemony.
Kai was a little unconvinced by this conjecture. It’s not that the U.S. government has high integrity, but it feels like the gain outweighs the gain. At this stage, the United States has the largest economy in the world, and the largest industrial volume and output value in the world. As long as it develops patiently, it will one day become the world's most powerful country, so why bother causing so many troubles. You must know that once this matter is revealed, the United States will most likely be humanely destroyed by all countries in the world.
It's totally unnecessary!
But Kay agreed to Kingsman's request to investigate. It would be more reassuring to investigate this kind of thing. What if there is really a madman planning to do this? It’s better to believe that it exists than to believe that it doesn’t exist.
In fact, at the beginning, Kai was prepared to investigate on his own. Unfortunately, Lao Fu disagreed. He thought that if Kai had to do everything, what should they do? Is there anything for fun?
The establishment of Kingsman not only promotes and ensures that the aristocratic spirit does not degenerate, but also means to deepen the relationship with Kai. To put it bluntly, the nobles were using Kai as a cover to tell others that they were not to be trifled with. The weakening of the nobility is a foregone conclusion. They have nothing to say except that their skills are inferior to others and the capitalists have taken advantage of them. But if you want to continue to weaken the strength of the nobles, you have to think carefully.
In fact, due to the formation of Kingsman, the cabinet has been restrained a lot. Even the king has sent someone to contact Kingsman. As for what to do... the ideas of politicians are very complicated, and most people can't guess it. Anyway, Kay doesn't know what George V is going to do. Never cared either. It's just some transactions left and right.
In this way, Kingsman's generation of agents began their first mission.
…
The time is February 3, 1919.
Kingsman’s investigation finally revealed part of the truth. The United States is indeed the main source of the virus! But according to Kingsman's investigation, the U.S. government was not involved, and even they did not know that someone was researching biological weapons under their noses.
The person conducting this research is an underground organization called 'Cobra', which has extremely powerful power in the United States. In order to eliminate this underground organization, Kingsman's first-generation agents were almost wiped out. If Kingsman hadn't finally contacted the U.S. intelligence agency through Daniels and O'Connor, and jointly attacked this organization, Kingsman might not have been able to do so. This time the operation will be a complete failure.
This time the U.S. government was almost scared to death. If Kingsman hadn't discovered this underground organization, the U.S. would have been very likely to be blamed. By then, let alone world hegemony, would the U.S. be able to exist in this world? Everything is an unknown quantity.
In order to respond to and eliminate the Cobra organization, the U.S. government hired Daniels, O'Connor, and Steve, who had just bid farewell to Diana and returned to China, to form a new intelligence agency. However, the intelligence organization soon split. Daniels and O'Connor Because Na wanted to copy Kingsman and set up a completely independent intelligence agency, he had an extremely unpleasant conflict with Steve and the US government.
So Daniels and O'Connor left the intelligence agency and went to Kentucky to open a winery together.
Another thing to say is that after the war, Steve finally mustered up the courage to confess his love to Diana. Although Diana was very moved, she still rejected him. Well... Kai didn't interfere at all in this matter. In fact, the relationship between Diana and Kai fell into a cold war after the Battle of Athens. She was still dissatisfied with Kai's sacrifice of those comrades. So Diana didn't follow Kay back to London at all, but stayed in Greece.
The U.S. government was very interested in Diana, and once hoped that she could serve the U.S. government, but in the end Diana disappeared, perhaps returning to Paradise Island. In short, Steve and the U.S. government searched Paradise Island again, but unfortunately found nothing. The coordinates of Paradise Island previously saved by Steve proved to be invalid.
Anyway, back to the subject, although the Cobra organization was defeated, according to Kingsman's investigation, it was just a branch of Cobra. No one knew where their main body was. Kingsman investigated the funding sources of the chemical plant that was researching biological weapons and found that almost most of the funds came from Europe. When Kingsman came to Europe to investigate those funding sources.
All clues have been eliminated, and all insiders and information about the flow of funds have been eliminated.
This time all the clues were lost.
However, this also proves from the side that Kingsman’s existence is necessary. Kai can deal with many enemies of humanity, but not humanity itself. There was nothing he could do about the Cobra organization, for example. If Kingsman hadn't gone to investigate, Kai would probably never have known about the existence of this organization in his life.
And the agents who survived this mission also received what they deserved, the Holy Grail Baptism. They become the guardians of the world at the cost of their souls.
Also to reward Kingsman, Kai transferred his Bedouin warriors and Guardian warriors to Kingsman. These soldiers are absolutely useless as agents, but they are more than enough as an armed strike force. In any case, agents are not omnipotent.
As for the Daniels and O'Connor wineries in the United States, Kay did not have a second Holy Grail to hand over to them, so he simply provided a large amount of financial support, and Kingsman was also obliged to provide a large amount of necessary support to the wineries.
Yes, the winery is also a spy organization, but they are hidden deeper.
…
On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed at the Palace of Versailles in Paris. This treaty was recognized by the League of Nations and officially came into effect on January 10, 1920. This also marked the official end of the First World War. .
This treaty is similar to what Kai knew in his previous life. The only difference is that the United States really got nothing this time. Because of the Spanish Flu, the United States was not having an easy time internationally this time, and even had to take the initiative to provide debt relief to various countries. It was a heavy bleeding.
Not only did many people die, but everything was gained. Even if I don't get the right to speak politically, I don't even make much money financially.
This caused President Wilson to be impeached immediately after returning to the country. If the upper echelons of the United States had not known the whole story, Wilson would have been spared. It is estimated that he will become the first president in the United States to be impeached and removed from office.
There is no way, this time the United States has been caught by the international community! The Spanish Flu should have been called the American Flu! This virus was created and leaked in the United States. If it weren't for the conclusive evidence that the U.S. government was not involved, and that the U.S. government also made a lot of efforts in this matter, the U.S. government would have been humanely destroyed long ago.
This also led to the fact that the U.S. government began to vigorously support Germany, allowing Germany to rise earlier than in history. It also led to the fact that after the outbreak of World War II, the power of the Germans far exceeded its original historical trajectory.
However, none of these things Kai was interested in. After two years of training in London, Kai began to feel restless.
What he is most interested in right now is the most popular photo in London.
This photo was brought back from the Amazon rainforest in South America by the controversial Professor George Challenger in London. It was a photo of a pterosaur! At the same time, he also brought back a diary, in which he described a prehistoric civilized world. George Challenger returned to London and wanted to persuade other scientists of the Zoological Society of London to believe in the existence of this prehistoric civilization.
Kay asked Kingsman to investigate, and Professor George Challenger did not lie. At least he himself firmly believed that this prehistoric world existed.
This piqued Kai's interest.
So Kay funded Professor George Challenger's expedition and planned to participate in the adventure himself. He was very curious about the place where dinosaurs could survive. The expedition team was also composed of 'Hunter' Roston, 'Reporter' Malone, 'Female Billionaire' Margaret and 'Atheist Scientist' Arthur Samray.
At first, everyone thought it was just a ridiculous adventure game, Kai was just curious.
Even Kai's personal maids Catherine and Raven thought it was just Kai's passing interest, so they didn't insist on going with Kai. They thought Kai would be back soon.
But unexpectedly, the expedition team quickly lost news.
One or two years later, people are still looking forward to it. Anyway, Kai is so powerful that nothing can hurt him. Everyone thought they just encountered some accident, or simply made some major discovery, which caused Kai to become obsessed with it.
But no one would have thought that in the next few decades, no news would come out about this expedition.
