So Captain Nemo found his old friends, the surviving members of the former League of Gentlemen. Among them, the blood queen Mina Harker refused Nemo's invitation. As for the reason, it is unknown. What is known is that since then, Mina Harker has disappeared from people's sight and has never been seen again. she. Others joined Captain Nemo's organization.
Speaking of which, after Kai and Catherine recognized each other, they also asked about the whereabouts of those people, but Catherine didn't know either. Unexpectedly, these people actually got together to form a secret organization. Was this popular in those days?
All in all, the Imperial Organization was established.
Then everyone in the League of Gentlemen used their expertise to begin research on the Titans and the construction of the organization.
The original base of the Imperial Organization was always on the Nautilus, and they established many bases on the seabed around the world. Later, in Captain Nemo's later years, he completed the design of the Argo. Afterwards, the Imperial Organization finally completed the construction of the Argo based on Captain Nemo's design drawings and the efforts of scientists within the organization.
This super aircraft never landed again from the day it took off. All upgrades and transformations are completed in the air, which can be said to be a miracle in the history of human engineering.
Phil was shocked from ear to ear when he learned about the past and present life of the Emperor Organization. too exaggerated!
Whether it's the Titan or the Argo that never lands!
"Since the Monarch organization has such a long history...how can it be related to our SHIELD?"
When the Monarch Organization was established, World War I had just ended, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was still far away. And according to the strength of the Imperial organization, it seems that there is no need to succumb to SHIELD, right?
Professor Serizawa smiled: "I never said that we have anything to do with SHIELD."
"Huh?" Phil was a little confused. If the Monarch Organization had nothing to do with SHIELD...then Director Fury...why did he bring him here?
"Indeed, the Emperor Organization has nothing to do with SHIELD." Nick Fury said with certainty.
"Huh?" Phil's face was full of questions.
"The fact is, I am both a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and a member of the Monarch organization!" Nick Fury directly threw a big melon!
Damn it, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. actually has a part-time job outside! ! !
This is absolutely not allowed!
As if he knew the roar in Phil's heart, Nick Fury said lightly: "That was a long time ago. At that time, I was just a top soldier, and I never thought that I would become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
It turns out that in the 1970s, Nick Fury was just a second lieutenant who had just retired from the army. In those days, the discrimination against black people was very serious. Although Nick Fury was excellent in the military, his identity as a black man destined him to have a rough future. What's more, when he was young, this guy would not cater to his superiors. He was stunned. Green one. Once again, for the sake of his comrades, he had a fierce conflict with his commander and was forced to retire.
At that time, in order to make a living, he briefly worked as a mercenary for a period of time. But they are not the kind of mercenaries who are paid to do things, but government mercenaries.
Do some shady secret tasks for the government.
It was also at this time that Dr. Bill Landa, the leader of the Monarch organization at the time, approached the then President Richard Nixon, hoping to get support from the U.S. government. The situation of the Monarch organization was not good at that time. Because of the construction of the Argo, the economic situation of the organization was very bad. For the survival and development of the organization, the then leader Bill Landa hoped to get support from Nixon.
Who is Meitingzong? A pure politician is a typical bureaucrat, a political old silver coin.
He doesn't know how many inexplicable requests for help he receives in a year. If Bill Landa hadn't been a very famous archaeologist, he wouldn't have bothered to talk to him. But the problem is that what Bill Landa said about the Titans...he really didn't believe it.
So Meitingzong simply gave some funding, not much, just a few hundred thousand dollars. He told Bill Landa that as long as he found evidence of the existence of the monster in his mouth, the U.S. government would be willing to fund him generously.
At that time, the Imperial Organization was more like a purely academic organization. As the leader of the organization, Dr. Bill Landa, although knowledgeable, was an authority in the archaeological community. But he himself knows nothing about politics. So he didn't see what Meitingzong meant at all.
Meitingzong didn't take Bill Landa's words seriously at all, and only thought that Dr. Bill Landa was looking for Kaizi to defraud funds.
This kind of thing is very common, even in this day and age, this kind of clever pretext to defraud funds often happens. If you have time, you can take a look at the many studies supported by the Pentagon over the years. Many of them look magical.
Meitingzong didn't pay too much attention and just took a small amount of money to get over it.
After all, an archaeological authority is worth its weight in gold.
What a waste of taxpayer money?
presumptuous!
This is supporting science! Without careful study, how can you prove that those monsters never existed?
Science is all about rigor!
Therefore, Meitingzong's spending of money is justified. It's even possible that when you file your account, you may be over-reported by hundreds of thousands.
Forget it, let’s not say more about this kind of politician, lest he suffer another disaster.
In short, Dr. Bill Landa is really taking this as a big deal. So he borrowed a few people from the military with Nixon's warrant. Naturally, the military was too lazy to pay attention to him, even if he had a letter of authorization from Tingzong. So it was directly outsourced to mercenaries.
That is Nick Fury and a group of his comrades.
In this way, some members of the Emperor's organization and a dozen mercenaries formed an exploration team.
They began their first journey to find monsters.
Since the Imperial Organization studies Titan beasts, it naturally has something to offer.
They were sure that there was a legendary island in the Atlantic Ocean that was surrounded by storms all year round. Captain Nemo had once landed people with him, but that adventure caused Captain Nemo to lose most of his crew. After their narrow escape, Captain Nemo and the remaining survivors discovered that the island had disappeared!
Captain Nemo left quite detailed notes about his experiences on the island. That notebook is also the most important document for the Imperial Organization's research on the Titans.
That island was called Skull Island by Captain Nemo! (Skull Island was set in the Indian Ocean near Sumatra in the movie, but due to plot requirements, it was thrown into the Atlantic Ocean)
Bill Landa just wants to take them to find Skull Island! Find evidence of the monster's existence from above!
So a wonderful adventure begins.
"That was a thrilling adventure..." Nick Fury said with a sigh on his face.
"Yes, after so many years, I still remember that adventure vividly." Professor Serizawa also had a look on his face as he recalled.
Phil looked confused.
Then the two continued to reminisce.
Skull Island, under the turbulent evil water, Skull Island is known as the place of death closest to hell. Skull Island has become a legend through word of mouth and hasty drawings among some indigenous people and sailors. No one believes that the mythical ancient creatures are still alive on the earth today.
But Skull Island is indeed a geographical and evolutionary blind spot, a place full of endless mystery.
The creatures on Skull Island may look incredible. The creatures on the island include man-eating earthworms, giant centipedes, bat dragons, coelacanths, destructor kingsaurus, stone dung giant spiders, cold moon spiders, Skull Island white-legged bison, Never-before-seen creatures such as Skull Island's Tetrapod.
According to research by the Monarch organization, they believe that the phenomenon on Skull Island is caused by geological instability. Continuous earthquakes have caused huge cracks, which just formed the craters where dinosaurs lived. These geological phenomena have led to the hypothesis of the reason for the survival of dinosaurs. These craters maintained the high temperature on the island, even if other corners of the world were frozen. Ice, while all living things have become extinct, Skull Island is still very warm and full of living things. This miracle has allowed giant reptiles to continue to evolve for 65 million years. Dinosaurs have continued to evolve, becoming more ferocious and intelligent, and evolved into something that has never been seen in paleontology. appearance.
The special geographical environment and wonderful geological activities have made this island shrouded in thick fog all year round, incredibly becoming a blind spot in the theory of evolution. Various huge prehistoric dinosaurs and other unprecedented creatures still live on this island that has been destroyed by time. In the forgotten corner.
Of course, it looks like paradise there. But in fact, for the expedition team, it was hell!
The first step was to land on the island. Not to mention other things, just to find the island, they spent several months and almost ran out of supplies on the ship. Only then, with the help of a storm, did they escape by accident. Find the island.
Finding the island doesn't mean all is well, either. The first is the environment. Thousands of years of isolated evolution have made it very unfriendly to outsiders. The first is disease. The ecological environment there has long been completely different from the outside world. Viruses and various germs have evolved completely differently from the outside world.
Many people experienced various conditions as soon as they landed on the island. Three people died of illness within three days of landing on the island. The medicines they carried had no effect at all. Later, one after another, five more people died due to various strange diseases. It wasn't until they met the native inhabitants of the island that they all escaped death from illness.
But this is just the beginning. Compared with what they have to face next, the disease is a small problem.
The indigenous residents have extraordinary worship for the creatures on the island, so they only live in the area protected by the 'Guardian Saint'. As for other places, they rarely ventured into it.
But the expedition couldn't stay in one place, they were determined to search the entire island.
Then, they suffered.
They encountered an unprecedented beast. Everyone died and was wounded.
Although in the end they saw King Kong, the patron saint of the indigenous people!
Some of Nick Fury's irrational actions even angered King Kong, causing them to face a dual pursuit by monsters and indigenous humans!
They also lost almost all their people.
Of all the people who entered the island, only three came back alive.
Nick Fury, Inoshiro Serizawa, Dr. Bill Landa.
Everyone else is dead!
They entered Skull Island because of a storm, and they left because of a storm.
This resulted in their ship being damaged and stranded at sea as they left.
Dr. Bill Landa also failed to survive the rescue due to a series of setbacks and injuries at sea. It was also because of this series of encounters that Nick Fury felt extremely guilty towards Dr. Bill Landa, but Bill Landa never blamed Nick Fury until the end. On the contrary, he was very grateful to Nick Fury. He was able to take them on this epoch-making adventure in the last days of his life.
Nick Fury was very moved by Bill Landa's wisdom and open-mindedness, and he yearned for the lofty goals of the Imperial Organization. So under the recommendation and auspices of Bill Landa, Nick Fury joined the Monarch organization.
In the end, only Nick Fury and Serizawa Inoshiro were left.
The two of them drifted at sea for three full months, and in the end they were basically exhausted.
Just when the two were about to kill each other with weapons and die honorably, fate favored them. They were rescued by a ship that received a distress call.
"It turns out..." Phil's heart surged when he heard this. He didn't expect that his director had such a magnificent experience when he was young.
"Haha, don't be surprised. What I experienced later is no less than this adventure." For example, he went to the universe in the late 1970s, had contact with aliens, and was blinded by the most ferocious creature in the universe.
"In short, after we returned to the civilized world, we were determined to change the way the Imperial Organization operates. Nick played a big role in this." Serizawa obviously didn't want to talk more about that expedition. After all, the experience was not a happy memory for the two survivors.
"I didn't expect that I originally planned to serve the Monarch organization, but who knew that SHIELD would find me. So I entered the Secret Service Academy and then SHIELD." Nick Fury told His own life was also very emotional. At first, he only planned to have a part-time job in the army, and then retire. "When I joined S.H.I.E.L.D., I just hoped to use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence advantages to help the Monarch organization grow. But as I got deeper into it, I gradually realized that there is no difference between the work of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Monarch organization. We are all the same. Striving for world stability and peace. So..."
"You will become the director of SHIELD..." Phil said speechlessly, always feeling that Director Fury's words were very annoying.
"This is indeed beyond my own expectations. Who would have thought that I, a big-headed soldier, would be so talented in the profession of an agent." Nick Fury felt very proud.
In the next period of time, Phil digested the huge amount of information.
Then he said: "Director...Then we are here this time..."
"Skull Island!" Nick Fury's eyes became sharp again: "In order to monitor Skull Island, the Monarch organization has always had a satellite to monitor Skull Island. Just one day ago, Skull Island was seen again in the satellite image image!"
Skull Island is very special, it will 'disappear' from time to time. Through various models and calculations, the Emperor Organization came up with a scientific explanation, that is, because of Skull Island's unique geographical location, geological activities, hydrological conditions and climatic conditions, it presents a special mirage phenomenon. Only extremely special Under certain circumstances, the mirage phenomenon will disappear, and it will not last long.
So seeing Skull Island appear again, neither Nick Fury nor Professor Serizawa are willing to miss the opportunity!
They were going to land on the island again.
And their goal is very clear, that is King Kong!
They determined that Kong was one of the Titans.
This is important to the Monarch organization!
