Human beings are forgetful creatures. Twenty years after World War I, World War II broke out on September 1, 1939. The outbreak of World War II made everyone realize the horror of war again. This time the United States also seized the opportunity to establish its world hegemony.
In the early stages of the war, the Americans still followed the strategy they had at the beginning of World War I. That is, no matter how Europe fights, they will just sit on the Diaoyutai and collect money until their hands cramp. At the same time, it began to absorb a large amount of nutrients from the participating countries.
The introduction of various talents is also a top priority for the United States. Many of these German-born scientists came to the United States during this period. Among these scientists, in addition to the famous Einstein, there is another scientist who is not famous, but is very important, and can even be said to have changed the world-Dr. Reinstein also came to the United States.
Dr. Reinstein is from Hanover, Germany. It turned out that he was a German chemist who fled to the United States because he did not agree with the communist ideology and began to work for the US government.
But these are just some revealed messages, and the true identity of Dr. Reinstein is even more twists and turns. His real name was Abraham Erskine! He originally worked for an organization that was more radical and terrorist than the Communist Party - the Thule Society.
He and his partner John Schmidt have been helping the Thule Society research a very mysterious topic-the super soldier serum project.
This project was created during World War I and was developed under the leadership of Baron von Grossmann, the young leader of the Thule Society at the time. They extracted the flesh and blood tissue of a mysterious creature and planned to isolate substances that could promote human evolution. Thereby fulfilling Thule Society’s ideal—sublimating into a god on earth!
But as the First World War came to an end, the Thule Society's strength declined greatly due to the defeat. Baron von Grossmann was directly killed on the battlefield. In addition, the Thule Society began to be continuously attacked by a mysterious British agent organization. As a result, the Thule Society could only go underground and support the revolutionary political parties to achieve revival.
At that time, Erskine and his partner John Schmidt were sent by the Thule Society to work under Hitler, the leader of the Communist Party, to bring various technological support to Hitler. But it was also during this period that the concepts of both Erskine and Schmidt underwent fundamental changes.
Erskine was not originally a formal member of the Thule Society. He was completely deceived into working for the Thule Society. He always thought that his research was for the future of mankind. But when he came to Hitler's command, he immediately understood what kind of organization the Thule Society was. He was also extremely disappointed with Hitler's rebellion. He saw nothing in it worthy of praise.
The Communist Party is just inciting hatred and violence everywhere under the banner of nationalism. Erskine can see that the Communist Party will only bring Germany into war in the end. So from that moment on, he wanted to leave.
Later, he accidentally learned from Schmidt where the real source of the so-called 'Super Soldier Serum Project' came from, and he was completely desperate. So he quickly defected to the United States.
And his partner Schmidt took a completely different path from him. If Erskine is a pure scientist, Schmidt is someone who completely regards science as a basis for his promotion. He studies science only because he believes that science can allow him to gain greater power and power.
After the Thule Society weakened, he felt that the Thule Society could no longer satisfy his ambitions, so he made a decision. Betrayed the Thule Society and cooperated with Hitler.
I don’t know how he deceived Hitler. He actually reached a cooperation with Hitler and became Hitler’s most important spy and scientific advisor. Hitler also obtained the details of the Thule Society from Schmidt. Thus, the purpose of annexing the power of Thule Society was achieved.
These two scientists, who were also studying super soldier serum, embarked on completely different paths.
Erskine had planned to conduct some mundane research in the United States and let the Super Soldier Serum be lost in time. That thing is too dangerous. Anyway, in Erskine's view, apart from creating murderers and lunatics, it is impossible for people to evolve.
But Schmidt is different. He always firmly believes that the super soldier serum is the key to human evolution. Once his research is completed, he will become a pioneer of mankind. Of course, he doesn't care much about the title of pioneer. He hopes to obtain it. The power to rule over humanity.
As a result, things are unpredictable, and the paths of the two people once again changed dramatically. Erskine originally didn't plan to research it, but the US government forced him to do it. But unexpectedly, he actually came up with something, a method that could circumvent the original drawbacks of the super soldier serum.
Originally, the Super Soldier Serum would make people evil and crazy. But with Erskine's unremitting efforts, he was able to semi-overcome this problem. Why is it half conquered? The reason is simple. He failed to completely eliminate the things in the serum that can make people crazy, but he could make good people better and bad people worse!
So he chose a child with a weak constitution but a firm and kind mind as the first experimental subject of the serum. That is Steve Rogers, the famous Captain America during World War II. Then Erskine was killed by the Germans...
Schmidt, on the other hand, eventually gave up on the Super Soldier Serum because his experiments on himself went awry. But he thought of other ways to fight for his rights, that is, to seek other powers. Anyway, there are thousands of technological paths, and there is no need to fight with the super soldier serum.
As a result, he was fucked hard by Super Soldier Steve.
…
The rise of Captain America has made people begin to forget those heroes who were sung by many during World War I. Many people even began to think that the heroes in World War I were just boring battlefield legends.
Wonder Woman became the boast of a group of nihilistic feminists, and the legend of the Knight King was ridiculed by American soldiers as the British's own obscenity.
In modern times, even people who were originally closely related to those legends have begun to gradually forget those people and things that should be remembered.
For example...Kingsman.
Kingsman was originally an agent organization founded with Kai's support. Their power comes from two things, one is their huge financial resources. In addition to the extremely noble man who founded Kingsman who donated all his family property for the development of Kingsman, Kay himself also invested 13 companies in Kingsman, giving Kingsman a solid economic foundation.
Without stable and abundant financial support, Kingsman would not be able to develop to the point where it is now. By the 21st century, Kingsman had become one of the world's leading private intelligence agencies, its size and power even surpassing that of the British Military Intelligence Agency.
In addition to huge financial support, Kingsman has been able to reach the point where it is today. More importantly, it is the thirteen top agents that they are proud of. These top agents, codenamed after the ancient Knights of the Round Table, are known as the most powerful agents in the entire twentieth century. This cannot even be compared to SHIELD, the world's most powerful agent organization.
But few people know that the main reason why these thirteen top agents are so powerful is precisely because Kai lent them the Holy Grail of Life he holds!
It is precisely because of the Holy Grail of Life that each generation of their top agents has extraordinary physical fitness and reaction speed. This allows them to perform their tasks without any disadvantages.
But time is really a force that can annihilate everything.
With Kai's disappearance, Kingsman, the secret service organization, began to gradually deviate from its original intention.
…
The time came to 2003.
Alfred is 106 years old, but he still maintains a very healthy body because of the Holy Grail. Within Kingsman, many people are speculating on the ability of this veteran who has been active in the organization since the establishment of Kingsman. How many years to live.
Alfred himself didn't care much about this, he knew his destination. He knew this when his grandfather asked Kai, the King of Knights, to use the Holy Grail to revive him in Egypt. His soul belongs to the Holy Grail. Alfred himself did not resist this, and even considered it an honor for him.
With the help of the Holy Grail, he witnessed generations of Kingsman gentlemen sacrifice themselves to preserve the world. Compared to them, he has lived for so many years, which is enough. Returning to the Holy Grail was a sacred contract between him, the Holy Grail, and the Lord, and he was very happy to complete this contract.
But before that, he felt he had to do something for humanity.
Alfred lived for more than a hundred years. He saw through the various aspects of life, and he also left deep disappointment.
He originally thought that their cause was beneficial to mankind and the entire world! Their efforts and sacrifices can make the world a better place!
But in the end he discovered that he was wrong, so wrong!
Humanity has never changed for the better, they still hate each other and kill each other! Most of the crises Kingsman has dealt with over the years were caused by the greed of those people themselves!
When Alfred was forty, he asked himself, will humanity be okay?
World War II was raging at that time.
But the answer he gave himself was, it will be fine! He believes that his struggle can make mankind better!
When he turned fifty, he asked himself the same question.
He still thinks humans will be fine!
It was the Iron Curtain era, and the two superpowers began to confront each other.
At the age of eighty, he still asked himself this question.
He still believes that mankind will be better. He feels that mankind will learn something from the lessons of the past. They need time.
On his ninetieth birthday, he asked himself this question again.
But at that time, he hesitated. He couldn't blurt out that humans would be better.
Instead, he felt that humans were sick!
At the age of 100, his thinking completely changed.
He humans will not get better!
During these years, the world's total population tripled!
Perhaps many people think that this world is the best stage in human history, with peace, prosperity, and economic and cultural development.
But Alfred saw a crisis, a big crisis that could affect the life and death of mankind!
If this continues, mankind is destined to have unprecedented huge wars due to issues such as energy and survival. After the end of World War II, Kingsman scientists predicted that once a world war breaks out again, mankind will be destroyed because of this war.
Alfred agreed with this conjecture. In the late World War II, humans invented too many weapons that could destroy the entire human civilization.
This made Alfred very anxious. Will humans be okay?
The anxiety was driving Alfred crazy!
This is his responsibility, and he promised his master that he would do his best to protect the entire world!
…
This anxiety was only alleviated by a plan two months ago.
Two months ago, a rich man approached Alfred. Richmond Valentine, founder and chairman of Valentine Group, a world-renowned technology company. This group covers various emerging industries such as communications, transportation, aerospace, Internet, etc. Even Time magazine predicts that in the near future, Valentine will surpass Tony Stark, the chairman of Stark Group, and become the richest man in the world.
The billionaire's purpose is simple. He hopes Alfred can participate in a plan - a population reduction plan!
Valentine believes that the world is going bad, and humans are to blame. He used a very interesting metaphor. He compared humans to viruses and the earth to the host. Global warming means the earth is heating up. This is a foreshadowing of two outcomes.
One is when the host actively kills the virus, and the other is when the virus kills the host.
But no matter which outcome, the virus will be finished!
So he formulated a plan to selectively reduce the population!
The advantage of this is that they have the initiative, and they can choose the method that is least harmful to humans to reduce the population. They can abandon those populations that are not necessary for humankind as a whole, just like natural selection. If a species wants to continue to develop, it will naturally eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled. Their approach is the same, they choose to retain those parts that are valuable to mankind and eliminate the bad and worthless population!
In this way, mankind can continue to develop in the healthiest way! And the world can be like a patient whose carrion has been removed, content to rest and recuperate.
Kill two birds with one stone.
If Alfred who was a hundred years old heard this, he would not hesitate to pull the trigger and kill the madman in front of him.
But now Alfred is very confused. He doesn't know the way forward. He is in despair and confusion. He doesn't have much time, and if he can make humanity a better place before returning to the Holy Grail, he's willing to do it!
…
But before that could happen, Alfred felt some stumbling blocks had to be cleared.
"I'm sorry... Galahad."
Kingsman is a knight of the new era, and their top agents are codenamed after the thirteen Knights of the Round Table. Alfred is the leader of all the 'Knights of the Round Table', codenamed 'Arthur'! The agent codenamed Galahad is Alfred's most promising successor. His bravery, courage, calmness, and unparalleled ability are synonymous with the perfect agent.
Without Valentine's plan, Alfred might have given him Arthur's code name and let him lead Kingsman.
But it doesn't work anymore. All of Galahad's advantages have become obstacles to the plan. Alfred once thought about winning over Galahad, but gave up in the end. Because he knew that Galahad would not agree to this crazy plan. Just like Alfred in his youth.
So he must die!
Alfred looked at the screen in the secret conference room, which was connected to Galahad's glasses. From here, he could see everything Galahad saw.
And now Alfred is watching Galahad walk towards a church, where is the trap of death prepared for Galahad,
But at this moment, the director of Kingsman Technology, codenamed 'Merlin', broke into the secret meeting room!
Alfred was unhappy with Merlin disturbing him at such a moment.
"Merlin..."
But before Alfred could express his opinion, Merlin took out the tablet in his hand and showed it to Alfred. There was a Kingsman logo flashing on it, with a Holy Grail suddenly burning in the middle of the logo: "Yes The feedback from the temple! It’s the Holy Grail! It’s the Holy Grail that’s starting to burn! The Holy Grail is starting to burn!!!!”
Alfred stood up all of a sudden, knocking over the chairs he was sitting on. But he didn't pay attention to this at all. He asked with a flushed face: "Merlin!!! You have to understand that this kind of thing is not a joke! Do you understand the consequences?"
"Of course, no Kingsman would joke about this!" 'Merlin' pushed the tablet in his hand directly in front of Alfred.
Seeing the pattern on it, Alfred thought for almost a second, then immediately turned around and said to Galahad who was about to enter the church: "Galahat! Mission cancelled! Repeat, mission cancelled! Mission cancelled!"
Galahad, who had already placed his hand on the door handle of the church, was very surprised. This had never happened before.
"What?"
"Return to the headquarters immediately! Immediately! Not only you, but all agents operating outside must return to the headquarters as soon as possible! Galahad, there are more important things waiting for us now. The servants of the King of Knights must Return to the Holy Grail of the King!"
After saying that, Alfred picked up the pen on one side and plunged it into his neck. This action almost scared Merlin out of his wits. He thought 'Arthur' wanted to commit suicide!
As a result, Alfred used a pen to stir around his neck and picked out a chip. He threw the chip on the table, then covered his neck and said to Merlin, who was confused about the situation: "Soon you will need to choose someone to replace me."
"Why... why?"
"Because... I betrayed Kingsman. I am no longer suitable to be the leader of Kingsman." After speaking, Alfred looked blankly at the flashing rune logo on the tablet and smiled. Said: "I still think being a housekeeper is more suitable for me. After all, my family has been doing this for generations!"
…
At the same time, in the jungles of South America, a U.S. military team was fighting a group of mysterious warriors. The situation of the battle is obvious, and the US military team is about to be unable to withstand it.
"Fake! Base! Base! We have been attacked, we have been attacked! We need support! We need support! We need support!!!" A US captain was holding his satellite phone and constantly seeking support from the base.
"Adam! Adam! Come on, Adam has been shot! He needs help!" At this time, a soldier saw that his companion had been shot, and immediately shouted for the teammates behind him to help.
The two soldiers took turns to cover and came to the soldier named Adam, grabbed his body armor and dragged him behind.
After arriving behind a bunker, one soldier began to fight back on the spot, while another soldier untied Adam's equipment and planned to give him first aid. He cut off Adam's clothes, blocked the wound on Adam's chest with a hemostatic pack, and continued to comfort Adam.
"Hey, rookie, hey! Look at me, look at me, don't sleep, don't sleep! You'll be fine, you'll be fine, this little injury won't kill you!"
Adam was already short of breath due to blood loss. He raised his pale face, twitched the corners of his mouth, and planned to say something, but his expression suddenly changed and he pushed his comrade away with all his strength.
"careful!!!"
The moment he pushed his comrades away, countless blue light groups began to explode around them. And made a piercing scream, the sound was like countless people scratching blackboards in their ears.
Just two seconds later, all Adam's comrades were killed! Only Adam, who was seriously injured, was left dying, waiting for death to come.
Their enemies quickly came up and looked at the tragic situation on the ground, they seemed very calm.
"Doctor, your invention seems to be effective, the ultrasonic weapon...hehe, this time the organization should give our branch more resources, right?"
These enemies seemed not to have thought that there would be any living people here.
"Of course...hahaha!" This should be a doctor.
Adam's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he felt like he might fall asleep at any time. He knew that once he fell asleep, he would never be able to wake up, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness. He was going to die...
But at this time, the weather suddenly changed. The clear sky just now turned into dark clouds, and countless lightning bolts exploded in the sky.
The ground began to tremble.
"What the hell is this?!!!" Adam heard someone shout.
"Get away! Get away! Get away quickly!"
"Why is there golden lightning? What is this thing?"
Adam felt the noisy shouts getting farther and farther away, becoming more and more blurry, and he knew that his time was up.
"Child, I'm sorry, I can't save you, I'm really sorry. But I can avenge you, and the price is your body. Are you willing?"
Adam felt that he was hallucinating, but he still subconsciously replied: "I...will..."
It's death anyway. If someone is really willing to avenge him, he doesn't mind giving up his body. A dead skin is not lost at all.
"very good!"
In the outside world, a group of people saw a golden lightning streaking through the forest, attaching itself to the dead bodies, and then popping out again. The last bolt of lightning attached to the body of a pretty boy.
But this time the lightning didn't pop up again!
On the contrary, countless lightnings in the sky began to converge on the body of the pretty boy. The pretty boy who should have been dead was held up in the air by thunder and lightning, and countless lightnings poured into his body.
"What the hell is this..." Everyone was stunned.
After almost a minute, the thunder and lightning gradually dissipated, leaving only the pretty boy standing there.
A group of people look at me and I look at you, not knowing what to do.
"Ah... It's really... terrible... Fortunately, I found this body, otherwise..." The pretty boy muttered a few words to himself, then suddenly raised his head: "I almost forgot, I promised him, To avenge him. Well... you are not good people anyway, so just go and die in peace!"
After the pretty boy said these words inexplicably, he raised his hand, and all the American guns originally scattered on the ground floated out of thin air, pointed them at everyone around them, and then opened fire!
Soon peace returned to the forest and everyone was dead.
Only the young warrior named Adam remained.
"...The condition of this body is too bad...I...need to take a rest...I hope someone will come to save me. It's really unlucky...I didn't expect that I, Kai, would be hurt like this by a little girl one day... …”
It turns out that the person who entered Adam's body was none other than Kai, who had been missing for more than 80 years!
After saying this, Adam, or now Kai, fell to the ground.
And above the tree canopy more than ten kilometers away from their fighting position, a US Black Hawk helicopter gunship was speeding in based on the last coordinates of the previous US team.
At the same time, in an underground building far away in England, a golden cup was flashing with dazzling blue flames. This is the Holy Grail of Life kept by Kingsman! And that blue flame is the flame of the soul.
This means that the Holy Grail has sensed his master!
