Background / History
Great Xia begins the story pursuing major domestic military-industrial projects, including the fifth-generation J-20 stealth fighter. Its leadership recognizes that advanced foreign systems such as the B-2 bomber are strategically desirable but financially prohibitive to reproduce independently at the time. 3 21
Its trajectory changes through contact with the mysterious Great Wall Watch organization. Great Xia places the safety and continued cooperation of the organization above any single technology transfer, regarding its source as a national pillar rather than merely an informant. 21
To manage this relationship, the state establishes the Great Xia Top Secret Special Operations Group as the country's sole authorized contact point with the organization. The group becomes responsible for confidential communications, emergency decisions, technology transfers, security arrangements, and reciprocity. 45
Great Xia consistently treats the partnership as one of mutual benefit rather than unilateral aid. It provides payments, weapons, infrastructure, investment, and social programs in return for advanced technologies, while deliberately avoiding investigations that could undermine trust. 107 159
