===World War II and the Cold War=== ====Spy business==== {{Quote|Do you have any idea how many medals this son of a bitch won?|General [[Bob Ross]] on Jones' war record.|Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull}} During [[World War II]], Jones returned to espionage work in December, this time for [[Office of Strategic Services|American intelligence]]. Indy found himself reunited with [[George McHale|George 'Mac' McHale]] who had since become an agent for England's own intelligence service [[MI6]]. Indy and Mac went on many missions together, both in Europe and in the Pacific. At one point they were in [[Jakarta]]. Mac saved Indy by pulling out [[amnesia]] darts from his neck. Another mission saw them working together as double-agents in [[Berlin]], posing as Nazis in order to gain the [[Enigma code]].<ref name="Ultimate Guide "/> Jones made other new friends during the War, such as General [[Bob Ross]], congressman [[Freleng|Frelen]], and army intelligence operative [[Abe Portman]].<ref name="KotCS">''[[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull]]''</ref><ref>Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (novel)</ref> Jones found himself fighting off [[zombie]]s in [[1940]], when the inhabitants of an island in the [[Indian Ocean]] he was supposed to observe were succumbing to a plague caused by the [[Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse]]. Indy managed to survive the event, as well as the violent earthquake that hit the area and killed the Horseman.<ref name="The World of Indiana Jones"/> ====The Golden Fleece==== {{Quote|I once promised myself that nobody would ever snatch a museum artifact from me again! I'm getting to old for this...|Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones and the Golden Fleece}} In April [[1941]], Indy sat foot on the [[Peloponnesian Peninsula]] in [[Greece]] as an advisor on an archaeological expedition. It all proved to consist of very poor timing, as Nazis were attacking at the same time. Jones agreed to cancel the official expedition so as to not risk any lives, while sneaking away, determined to get his hands on the treasure before the Nazis could. By himself, Indy entered the tomb of [[King Atreus]] to find an ancient knife, older than [[Mycenae]] itself. As he left the tomb, Jones found himself in the middle of a Nazi camp, resorting to take one soldier hostage. [[File:GoldenFleece.jpg|thumb|210x210px|left|Leaving for an expedition in [[Greece]].]] The Nazi commander shot Jones' human shield dead, forcing him to flee on a bicycle. He was saved by a young woman named [[Omphale Kiapos]], who hid him inside a barrel containing olive-oil. While looking for a way to leave Greece, Jones was then attacked by a group of hooded men speaking Turkish, who took the knife from him while offhandedly mentioning the [[Golden Fleece]]. Omphale opened fire, and the thugs fled. Stealing an airplane from the Nazi camp, Jones and Omphale left Greece. The plane was damaged in an air battle with a Nazi squadron, forcing them to land on top of the [[Mediterranean Sea|Mediterranean]] next to the Dardanelles. Omphale managed to nurse the craft to health so that they could reach [[Istanbul]]. Indy decided to consult his antiquities dealer friend, [[Daan van Rooijen]], who confirmed that the Golden Fleece was connected to the Greek god [[Hecate]], and that he suspected it was hidden somewhere in the city. He also claimed that the only thing needed to reconsecrate the fleece was the knife from Atreus' tomb. Looking into an old transcript of an auction twenty years earlier, which appeared to have had the ram of the fleece as one of its items for sale, they were assaulted by government agents, but were able to escape, and found the name [[Mehmed Sarper]] listed in the transcript. Sarper was revealed to still have the ram of the fleece in his possession, as no one had been interested in purchasing it. Jones and Daan recovered the fleece intact inside of the ram. Daan insisted it'd be kept in his possession, and drugged Jones and Omphale, so that he could escape with it. Waking up, Indy found Daan dead in his basement, assassinated by the cult members. Traveling east, to ancient [[Colchis]], Jones and Omphale stepped right into a furious snowstorm, when Omphale started giving birth to her baby boy. Simultaneously, the cult members awoke the protector of the fleece, a giant snake. For reasons Indy could not himself explain, he lifted the baby up into the air, and begged Hecate to honor its innocence. Hecate struck the cult members down, and the serpent burned to death. The fleece was transformed into a golden goat, which rejoined the goddess in the heavens.<ref>''[[Indiana Jones and the Golden Fleece]]''</ref> ====Heroic efforts==== {{Quote|My experiences with Nazi Germany and imperial Japan haven’t been among the highlights of my career so far.|Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead}} That summer, at a reception at the Russian Embassy in [[Washington DC]], Indy prevented a bomb attack which was set up by [[Japan|Japanese]] agents and saved the life of commissar [[Tamara Jaglova]], who was looking for someone to lead an expedition to examine the grave of [[Genghis Khan]] where they recovered and lost Genghis Khan's sword.<ref>''[[Indiana Jones und das Schwert des Dschingis Khan]]''</ref>[[File:IndyMephisto.jpg|thumb|220x220px|Taking on the Nazi [[Helmut von Mephisto|Mephisto]].]]In July, Jones was approached by [[Musgrove|Colonel Musgrove]] concerning the [[Akashic Hall of Records]].<ref>''[[Indiana Jones and the Pyramid of the Sorcerer]]''</ref> After Jones' success in following up the mystery — and tensions eased over the fate of the [[Ark of the Covenant|Ark]] five years earlier — Musgrove proposed the archaeologist be funded, unofficially, by the U.S. government in adventures that conflicted with [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s interests. Jones agreed, and spent the remainder of the month and early August embroiled in a plot concerning [[Mount Sinai]], before Musgrove presented a top secret file which required more immediate attention than Nazis: [[Japan]]ese experiments with the supernatural codenamed [[Tsuzumi Boshi]].<ref>''[[Indiana Jones and the Mystery of Mount Sinai]]''</ref> Some time later, Indiana helped [[Sallah Mohammed Faisel el-Kahir|Sallah]] and his family emigrate to America.<ref name="DoD"/> Following the attack on [[Pearl Harbor]] and America's entry into [[World War II]], the US government called in Jones to solve the mystery of a map detailing the location of a network of German U-boat bases recovered by American agent named [[Jonah]]. While Jones was successful, Jonah was killed before the secret base on [[Easter Island]] was destroyed. The [[1942|year after]], Jones and [[George McHale]] were working in [[Flensburg]]. Together, they managed to make their ways out of a very difficult situation. [[File:GI Jones.jpg|left|thumb|Jones dressed as a GI.]] June of [[1943]] had Jones investigating reports of a golden valley connected to [[Akator|El Dorado]].<ref name="Ultimate Guide" /><ref>''[[Indiana Jones und das Gold von El Dorado]]''</ref> While on furlough from commitments to the [[Office of Strategic Services]] in the summer, Jones and McHale visited [[Haiti]] to chase the whereabouts of the black pearl known as the [[Heart of Darkness]].<ref>''[[Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead]]''</ref> When he returned to the States that same year, Indiana travelled to [[Utah]] to check on apparent contradictory information about the [[Anasazi]] culture before returning to [[Barnett College]].<ref>''[[Indiana Jones und das Verschwundene Volk]]''</ref> Jones was later requested to infiltrate enemy lines in [[Monte Cassana]], [[Italy]] to recover several treasures collected by German forces from across Europe. With the help of some friendly monks, Indiana loaded a crate and smuggled it out to waiting US soldiers.<ref>''[[Indiana Jones and the Treasure of Monte Cassana]]''</ref> In June [[1944]], McHale and Jones were involved in the operations of D-Day. Jones kept a copy of General [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]]'s letter, and a personal letter from Mac in his journal.<ref name="Lost Journal" /> ====Lance of Longinus==== {{Quote|To the victor go the spoils!|Jones deals the final deathblow to [[Colonel Weber]].|Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny}} That same year — whilst searching for the fabled [[Lance of Longinus]] — Jones, with friend and colleague [[Basil Shaw]], got embroiled in the fallout of the archaeologist's infiltration of a heavily patrolled [[Nazi Stronghold]]. Jones was captured after impersonating a guard at the main gate of the castle, and nearly lynched before escaping through a [[Escape from the Nazi Stronghold|German Convoy]], and subsequently boarding a [[528079|Nazi plunder train]].<ref name="DoD" /> [[File:1944.jpg|thumb|Atop the [[528079|plunder train]].|270x270px]] Although the spear turned out to be fake, on board the [[528079|fast-moving train]], Jones recovered an unusual mechanism - "[[Antikythera|a dial that could change the course of history]]". The two men also encountered a pair of prominent Nazis: [[Colonel]] [[Weber]], who faced them on top of the vehicle itself, and Dr. [[Jürgen Voller]], a scientist who was taking note of [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s "mistakes", whom Indy punched to the face after distracting him by covering his face with his fedora. During the mission, Basil accidentally shot Indy in the arm, adding another bullet to Indy's eventual ten gunshot wounds despite apologizing. In a combined effort, Jones and Shaw managed to dispatch of Weber, while Voller was knocked off the speeding train. As a result they could finally cross the enemy lines with one half of the Dial in their possession.<ref name="DoD"/> [[File:Spearofdestiny.jpg|left|thumb|246x246px|The [[Lance of Longinus|Spear of Destiny]].]] In March [[1945]], Jones was excavating a [[New Grange Mound|mound]] outside of [[New Grange]], [[Ireland]], when he received a letter from his [[Henry Walton Jones, Senior|father]] in [[Glastonbury]], [[England]], concerning yet another potential Nazi plot to recover the [[Spear of Longinus]]. After surviving a [[Blueshirts|Blueshirt]] assassination plot, he and his assistant, [[Brendan O'Neal]] traveled to England and met up with his father. Together they managed to steal half the spear tip from the Nazi agent [[Dieterhoffmann]] and escaped to [[Wales]] with [[Rebecca Stein]]. In Wales, Stein was captured by the Nazis, who had been collaborating with the Blueshirts in [[Ireland]]. The Joneses returned to Ireland, where Indiana rescued Stein, and O'Neal and the elder Jones assembled the spear, using a sprig of the [[Holy Thorn]]. Back at the mound, the Spear revealed its true nature in the morning equinox light, and the Nazi plot was thwarted with the death of Dieterhoffmann, and his mystic son, [[Seigfried]]. However, the spear tip was again stolen by the Nazis. Jones later returned to [[Wales]] to search for a treasure trove accidentally discovered at [[Gorsedd Arbeth]], but was unable to find it. He met up again with O'Neal in [[New York City]] in August to pass along the news that the Spear tip had been recovered by American forces in the war.<ref>''[[Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny]]''</ref> Jones came out of World War II holding the rank of Colonel,<ref name="Ultimate Guide" /> having been awarded several war medals, and his adventures continued into the post-war era, as did his teaching. ====The Iron Phoenix==== {{Quote|My work has led me down dark paths where ancient forces act. Forces beyond accepted beliefs!|Indiana Jones to [[Nadia Kirov]].|Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix}} In [[1947]], Indy went to [[Berlin]] at the request of the Soviet government to evaluate ancient artifacts. He unearthed the Key of [[King Solomon]], which told of the design of the [[Philosopher's Stone]] containing the secret for turning base metal into gold and bringing inanimate objects to life. Indy set off to the three churches which were said to hold the three pieces of the stone. He obtained the first piece from a coven of witches in [[Ireland]] and headed to [[Tibet]] after the second piece. Eventually working alongside the Soviet major [[Nadia Kirov]], he stopped a Nazi plot by Doctor [[Matthias Jäger]], General [[Heinrich (Nazi general)|Heinric]] and [[Dunkelvolk]] to use the Philosopher's Stone to create an army of undead German soldiers.<ref>''[[Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix]]''</ref> ====The Infernal Machine==== {{Dialogue|Gennadi Volodnikov|Did you find God, Dr. Jones?|Indiana Jones|I hope not. Whoever we ran into wasn't very forgiving.|At the ruins of [[Babylon]].|Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine}}Later in [[1947]], former lover [[Sophia Hapgood]] returned into Jones' life once more as an agent of the nascent [[Central Intelligence Agency]], with her superior [[Simon Turner]] aspiring to recruit him. The CIA offered Jones a chance to find the missing parts of the [[Disciples of Marduk]], an ancient quartet of Babylonians who had each been entrusted with one piece of the "[[Infernal Machine]]". The CIA's objective was to obtain the Machine parts before the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]], who were seeking the pieces in order to reactivate the Infernal Machine, a supposed, legendary portal into an alternate realm called the [[Aetherium]]. The Soviets' objectives remain ambiguous, however, it is believed that they thought they could somehow harness the power of the Machine in order to gain an upper hand in the [[Cold War]].<ref name="IJatIM">''[[Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine]]''</ref> [[File:Indy infernal machine.jpg|thumb|left|172x172px|Looking for clues on the [[Infernal Machine]].]] Jones and the Russians, led by mystic physicist Dr. [[Gennadi Volodnikov]] raced from Soviet [[Kazakhstan]] to the [[Philippines]] to [[Mexico]] to [[Sudan]], the respective locations of the four lost Machine parts. Jones successfully collected the four parts and reunited them with the Machine in Babylon, however, his efforts almost had adverse consequences when he nearly unleashed the monstrous ethereal spirit [[Marduk]] into the world, as Turner was actually an American extremist willing to use Marduk's power to defeat the Communists. Fortunately, the Machine was buried when the excavated city of [[Babylon]] re-collapsed and Jones narrowly escaped with his life once again after defeating Marduk. He and Agent Hapgood surprisingly being rescued by their former enemy, the Soviet Dr. Volodnikov.<ref name="IJatIM"/> The same year, the US government sought Jones' opinion and forced him to inspect the wreckage of an unidentified aircraft. Indy was transported with twenty other individuals in great secrecy aboard a bus with blacked-out windows to a [[Hangar 51|vast secret storage-room]]. He was not told where it was located and was given explicit orders not to converse with the other people who were with him. There they were shown the wreckage and some kind of [[New Mexico specimen|mutilated remains]] wrapped in an intense magnetic shroud. Afterwards, Indy was threatened with treason charges should he speak of what he saw.<ref name="KotCS" />
