Chapter 101: Commander Ponders

Updated: Sep 17

Cobra Commander stands with unwavering confidence at the heart of his expansive, impeccably designed office. The space radiates an aura of strength and authority, adorned with carefully curated, modern furnishings that project an air of power. His hands are clasped resolutely behind his back as he fixes his gaze upon the sweeping, floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the glass, a breathtaking panoramic vista of New Springfield unfolds, revealing the bustling metropolis in all its grandeur. The city sprawls before him like a living, breathing entity, its vitality palpable as new edifices reach skyward and a network of bustling streets teems with the pulse of life. Every detail of the urban landscape comes alive, painting a vivid picture of a thriving, dynamic community.


The city's towering walls act as a barrier separating the urban landscape from the captivating tapestry of nature and human ingenuity that lies beyond. As one gazes past the city limits, they are greeted by vast expanses of farmland that stretch out to the horizon. The fields are a rich, verdant green, and are interspersed with rolling hills that add depth and character to the landscape. These agricultural lands are a testament to the strategic initiatives of Cobra Commander, showcasing the successful integration of technology and sustainable practices in farming.


In the distance, one can spot solar-powered factories that stand as symbols of both sustainability and progress. These structures are not only visually imposing but also represent the triumph of human innovation. The relentless hum of activity emanating from these factories, combined with the sight of countless workers going about their tasks, serves as a reminder of the relentless drive for advancement that propels this post-apocalyptic society forward. The factories are a fusion of modern technology and environmental consciousness, their solar panels gleaming in the sunlight as they contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future.


As Cobra Commander surveys the vista before him, he is filled with a profound sense of satisfaction, knowing that every inch of this carefully crafted landscape reflects his meticulous planning, unwavering leadership, and unyielding vision for a new world order.


Cobra's power and influence continue to expand with each passing day.


Every day brings new victories for Cobra Commander, along with an increasing number of loyal supporters.


His vision of overthrowing the corporate elite has become a tangible reality. What initially began as a quest for financial dominance has evolved into a pursuit of true power, unwavering devotion, and the ability to manipulate the masses to further his cause.


The thriving economy of New Springfield operates on a different basis compared to the fiat currencies of the old. Instead, it focuses on the production of essential goods, bullets, beans, and bandages, ensuring security, sustenance, and safety for its residents.


Cobra Peacekeepers are a familiar and calming presence in every settlement within the Cobra Controlled Territories, while Cobra Troopers diligently and peacefully patrol the borders of the United Tribal Nations. Special Operations teams under Cobra's command execute precise and strategic missions to safeguard the remaining valuable infrastructure.


The farms under Cobra's control have managed to produce a surplus of produce and have started engaging in trade with survivors in Canada and Mexico, utilizing secure Cobra Forces-protected routes.


Moreover, Cobra Medi-Vipers have established health clinics and hospitals in strategic locations, offering a wide range of critical medical services at no cost. This initiative aims to guarantee the presence of a strong, healthy labor force within New Springfield and beyond.


At least, that's how it all looks on the surface.


Cobra Commander portrays himself as a champion of the people, but the reality is that he governs with ruthless authority. Anyone who dares challenge him is banished to isolated regions known euphemistically as "outlying communities," which in fact are desolate work camps or mass graves. Those who cannot contribute to his regime are harshly eliminated, described as being "retired." He exercises strict control over various channels of mass communication, ensuring that they are saturated with his own propaganda.


As his power and influence continue to expand, they do so at a cost. With his increasing authority comes a heightened risk to his control. The relentless G.I. Joe operatives pose a persistent challenge, employing guerilla tactics to initiate sudden attacks, disrupting supply lines, and then vanishing without a trace. Despite Cobra's numerical superiority, the Joes remain a constant thorn in their side. The ongoing border war with the United Tribal Nations sees his forces barely holding their ground against the unyielding conflict. Adding to the mounting threats are the looming dangers posed by the Autobots and Decepticons, further imperiling his rule.


Cobra Commander exudes unwavering confidence in his leadership, firmly believing in his ability to emerge victorious. Fresh recruits are pouring into New Springfield on a daily basis, bolstering the ranks of the Peacekeepers, Troopers, Vipers, and specialized Vipers. Simultaneously, with the assistance of Soundwave, his Lab Rats and Science Vipers persist in developing cutting-edge technology that surpasses even their wildest dreams. Despite the looming hazard of the zombie menace, new priorities have taken precedence, overshadowing the persistent threat.


The specialized task force, the Cobra H.E.A.T., employs relentless surveillance and countermeasures to track and neutralize the ongoing danger posed by G.I. Joe.


In utmost secrecy, a cutting-edge weapon system has been designed and produced with the sole purpose of eradicating the peril posed by the Transformers.


Operating ceaselessly, the highly-trained units of Cobra Reapers and Cleansers are dedicated to methodically purging regions of the ongoing undead menace.


The Commander's unyielding confidence in his assured triumph leaves no space for uncertainty or hesitation. He is resolute in his belief that victory is the only possible outcome. Lost in contemplation, a sudden, resounding knock on the door startles him, bringing him back to the present moment in an instant.
