(Set during the intense Cold War from 1945-1991, follows Allied operatives of the Top-Secret organization called Gi Joe trying to root out Communist influence around the world. Includes original characters and established ones.)
September 1951. The war in Korea is raging. With Communist China openly pushing 300,000 'Volunteers' into the war they've pushed back United Nations forces below the 38th Parallel, retook the South Korean capital, Seoul, and threatened to push them back to Pusan.
There was the debate of using nuclear weapons along the North Korean/ Chinese border to stem the tide of aid flowing south. That was denied not only from the obvious human and environmental damage it would cause, but the political backlash from Europe, China, and Russia.
New methods were needed to try and stem the tide. If aerial bombing wouldn't work, why not try to infiltrate the area and destroy the infrastructure like the Resistance did in World War II?
This is was a table of the highest generals and flag officers were debating at a Round Top Discussion at the Pentagon. Many of these generals had service during the previous Second World War II, but they were more traditional officers, large formations of aircraft, tanks, and men cutting swaths through Europe, Asia, and the Pacific.
Then there was General Colton. He knew how to fight in the shadows and during dirty tactics. He learned from British Commandos in Britain during the early years of the war before the United States became officially involved. He took what he learned to the Pacific where he led companies of American Rangers in the liberation of the Phillippines and Okinawa, at least officially. There were Classified operations on numerous islands, including one alleged mission where Rangers may have landed outside Tokyo to plant tracking devices on strategic sites before they were bombed by B-29s.
General Colton sat in deliberate silence as he listened to his posh generals debate the issue of what to do with China and how to reverse their fortunes in Korea. One Air Force general brought up carpet-bombing Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.
"At the risk of thousands of civilian lives?!" cried Vice Admiral Twain of the Navy. "A blockage of their ports will starve aid from China and Russia.
"Don't be daft!" Major General Benton of the Army cried. "Neither of those will work. What we need is more ground forces. 100,000 men!"
There were yells, threats, even some crumbled ball throwing between these 'gentlemen' before one of the Central Intelligence Agency's advisers, a man named Trent, looked across the table to see the composed General Colton sitting there with a smug grin on his face. When the old men finally ceased their yammering, advisor Trent asked, "General Colton, you've been strangely quiet. Do you have anything to suggest for this meeting?"
"I do" Colton spoke slowly. "I'm just waiting for a phone call."
His words confused the advisor. Colton said nothing else for another five or so minutes until one of Colton's aides, a female lieutenant entered the room, walked over to the General and whispered something into his ear and left.
"Something you case to tell the rest of us?" asked General Benton, his tone thick in sarcasm.
"I do," Colton nodded. "The Mao-Yalu River and the H35 pipline have been destroyed. Operations have been curtailed an estimated 6 months."
The field officers and gasped and looked at one another in confusion. None of them knew of any such operations. There were no troops or assets within 300 miles of that site. The bridge spanned the Yalu River, the northern border of North Korea and China. The H35 pipeline ran near it. It was a 12 inch diameter oil pipeline that ran from refineries in the Liaoning Province into North Korea. Rather than deal with small, vulnerable shipments of oil in trucks or ships, a pipeline was constructed that ran for 200 miles near Pongyang. The Allies knew the pipeline existed. They've tried many times to destroy it with airstrikes, but only succeeded in damaging it temporarily.
"How was this accomplished?" Adviser Trent asked General Colton.
"That's on a 'Need to Know Basis' Colton replied coldly. "But I know that what has been told here is the truth and you gentlemen need to rethink your strategy. Brute force is not going to win this fight."
The officers said nothing, just stared at Colton before Adviser Trent, disregarding Colton's words, refused to believe it, "We don't have operatives in China!"
"Right" General Colton nodded, "You don't have operatives in China."
The words struck Trent cold. He stared at the general for a second before lowering his eyes, unable to comprehend its meaning.
Around that same time at a Top Secret Facility that may be in Korea
A green painted Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw hovered and carefully landed on a patch of hard clay outside some simple buildings on a naked capped hill surrounding by thick trees. Three people rapidly jumped off before the helicopter quickly lifted off into the darkening sky, leaving behind a whirl wind of dust and twigs.
The three people that jumped off silently lugged their gear towards one of the buildings. Halfway there they were greeted by one of the enlisted technicians working the facility. "How'd it go out there, Duke?" the tech smiled.
"As well as could be expected, Ripcord!" the blonde haired, blue eyed Duke happily replied back. "We nailed it!"
"That's what General Colton is hoping to hear," Ripcord replied. "He's waiting to hear from you." The two entered the closest hut that had the facility radio and landline phones, leaving Duke's two partners outside with the gear.
One of the other agents was a female redhead, a feisty and capable soldier named Scarlett. The operatives here all use only their code-names. Since their operations carried them behind enemy lines and in some off-limits areas, in case of capture or exposure, they were to not give their real names. They may be disavowed and executed as spies, but their organization was not to be exposed.
Scarlett gritted her teeth as she held Duke's ruck. Once more she was left outside in the growing cold while Duke got the glory and spoke with the General. She didn't like Duke, almost hated. He was a capable leader, but he loved the limelight and made a few questionable choices. Duke was a veteran of World War II, serving in the 1st Armored Division from North Africa all the way to the fall of Germany. It was alleged that he captured, tortured, and executed German prisoners, namely the infamous Waffen SS. She heard many stories, in one case he herded 10 Waffen SS officers into a hut, doused in gasoline and set it on fire. He then shot any of them trying to escape. Scarlett didn't know if it was true as different people would tell the same story yet inflate the number higher 10, 20, and in one case 50 Waffen SS!
What bothered her about it was, Duke never denied any of the stories. Sure in military it was common for service men to exaggerate their experiences, to bolster themselves and one-up their comrades.
For Scarlett, her service was relatively tame in comparison to others. She joined the Army as a typist before the War and then gradually moved up until she caught the eye of General Colton during one of his scouting missions for potential recruits for his growing Unit. When the war ended in Europe there was the face off with East Germany and Russia and the need for agents. General Colton struck up the idea of using female agents. He chose Scarlett because she was intelligence, capable, quick to adapt, and could speak multiple languages. She was recruited for the Unit, perhaps one of the first.
She did many missions with Duke and while it started off fine, she quickly learned to resent his callous nature. He often talked down to her and other female agents and many times tried to go beyond the mission perimeters for the sake of a 'cherry on top' as she called it. This mission to the bridge and H35 was no different. Duke tried to snag himself a North Korean officer as a prisoner to take back for interrogation.
Duke waited in some shrubs for the officer to come by where he planned to leap out, tackle, arrest and drag the officer back before anyone would notice. However, when Duke jumped from his cover, he found himself face to face with three armed North Koreans instead of a lonely officer. Armed with only a knife, Duke slashed at one prompting the third agent with them to open fire with a suppressed pistol, dropping the other two.
Fearing they've been exposed, and with no prisoner to show for this breach, Duke ordered the explosives to go off ahead of schedule and for the extraction to begin. For the next two days the agents hotfooted it to the west until they could find a safe spot near the coast where the helicopter plucked them out.
Scarlett knew that Duke would try something like that, hence why she tried to get rid of him by calling out his reckless nature to her superiors, only for her to be quietly hushed. Duke was a man that got results. They couldn't afford to lose him. Scarlett could leave, but she didn't want to leave the new people to be under Duke's influence. One of them being the third agent with them on this mission, a relatively new guy code-named Kid. Part of that was because of his name, Isaac Kidd. The other being his youthful looks.
Kid was 25 and served at the tail-end of World War II, just getting to Okinawa at the end of the campaign and being there for Japan's formal surrender. He didn't see any combat which built up a great deal of resentment. His father had served in World War I in the Army and came back with so many medals that his uniform sagged to one side. After the war, Kid continued to serve in the Army, hoping to get something and as luck would have it, he was recruited by General Colton just before the Korean War.
Since his arrival to the unit, both Duke and Scarlett have been fighting over potential recruits, much like two divorced parents fighting over their child. Duke was a man that promised action, glory, ever lasting fame. Something out of an Action Comics. He was also reckless, arrogant, bigoted and sexist.
Scarlett had more compassion. She was prudent, composed, and cared for the well being of her fellow agents. So much so that she would rather risk herself than let another agent come to harm, something was appreciated by her fellow agents, but not by Command.
