History
Qingye Group selected Hongsawad as an initial base because control of the country would enable connections with southwestern China, South Asia, Siam, Lan Xang, Malaysia, Java, and Star Island. Its southern coast was chosen for the group’s first industrial foothold because of its location and industrial base 48.
In late February, Ma Chi, Liu Zhifan, and Yang Mengjiao entered through Yangon, established a branch there, and moved the headquarters to Tavoy District in Tenasserim Province. The branch purchased nearby islands and infiltrated local underworld networks 53.
By November of Year 19, the Hongsawad branch had established fully operational zones in Tenasserim, Mon, Karen, Kayah, and Shan States. Its infiltration zones covered Irrawaddy, Yangon, Bago, Pyinmana, Mandalay, and Magway, overlapping heavily with the official government’s areas of authority 90.
The Pyinmana conference consolidated this transformation: approximately 68% of attendees belonged to the Homo sapiens system, while two of Hongsawad’s three leading figures, Wu Yebo and Mao Gu, were secretly part of that system 97. Qingye Group subsequently relocated its headquarters from Dawei Port to Taunggyi 97.
Governance and Control
- Qingye Group became the dominant enterprise in Dawei Port and established a firm foothold in the Golden Triangle by supporting Spider Web Managers and Soldiers while secretly controlling warlords and major-family members 90.
- Qingye Group was one of the three major groups strongly supported by Hongsawad; Shan State was regarded as its territory 127.
- The three major groups’ presence became pervasive in Yangon: their employees and relatives grew from roughly one-tenth of the city’s population to nearly one-third within about a year 218.
- The Yangon Commodity Trade Center, through which all of Hongsawad’s international bulk commodity trade had to pass, was contracted to Qingye Group 217.
- Qingye Group held roughly one-quarter of Hongsawad’s real estate, but prioritized roads, water conservancy, and urban infrastructure over property speculation 168.
Economy
Industry
Qingye Group’s early expansion emphasized fast-return industries. Affordable purified water, fruit juices, and glassware spread along the coast and displaced local competitors in Hongsawad’s fragile industrial market 63.
| Sector | Qingye Group market share |
|---|---|
| Beverages | 42% |
| Glass bottles and glass products | 95% |
| Cement | 100% |
| Small hardware | 15% |
Recorded during the group’s early consolidation of Hongsawad’s industries 101.
- Qingye Group established enterprises across Shan State, including hospitals, construction, banking, supermarkets, passenger transport, building materials, and cola production 100.
- The country’s three major groups also operated integrated cultural industries, including television stations, social platforms, film companies, cinema chains, music, animation, publishing, and talent agencies 223.
- Hongsawad’s industrial development was supported by more than 100,000 remolded personnel trained through Qingye Comprehensive University’s accelerated programs and assigned to technical and professional positions 102.
Agriculture
Hongsawad’s Shan Plateau, Salween estuary delta, and coastal plains were turned into major farm zones within fully controlled areas. Qingye Group projected first-quarter harvests of 3.2 million tons of rice, 1.5 million tons of genetically modified corn, 900,000 tons of genetically modified soybeans, 1.05 million tons of rapeseed, 320,000 tons of sugar, and 350,000 tons of potatoes 105.
- Hongsawad’s low population, extensive arable land, and tropical monsoon climate gave it the potential to become a world-class granary 105.
- Later estimates placed annual production from the Hongsawad branch alone at 100–200 million tons of grain 298.
- Annual rice production was projected at about 30 million tons, while total output including corn, soybeans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes reached about 110 million tons; the three major groups held approximately 33 million tons in grain reserves 259.
Currency and Finance
Hongsawad replaced the Myanmar Kyat and foreign currencies with the Golden Yuan, a currency under a limited gold standard. The initial issue was 50 billion Golden Yuan, stated to equal 100 tons of gold; Qingye Bank retained more than 170 tons of additional reserves 113.
- Golden Yuan holders could exchange currency for gold only through Qingye Bank, with appointments required and annual individual exchanges capped at 120,000 grams 113.
- International trade was conducted in Golden Yuan rather than through currency swaps, though companies could use special channels for large exchanges 113.
- Qingye Group acquired 273 tons of gold, 1,352 tons of silver, jade, rubies, and 27 gold mines during industrial integration; the mines’ estimated reserves totaled roughly 162–185 tons of gold 103.
- The group also took control of approximately US$32.3 billion in cash and US$27.7 billion in secret overseas deposits from warlords and prominent families 104.
- As Hongsawad’s commodity base and gold reserves expanded, total Golden Yuan issuance exceeded 500 billion 217.
Infrastructure and Resources
Energy
Hongsawad’s terrain and tropical monsoon rainfall provide significant hydropower potential, particularly on the Shan Plateau. Eastern Water Energy Company built the Ruiniang Town Hydropower Station with a designed capacity of 200 MW and an 80 MW energy-storage reservoir 104.
By the time Homo sapiens Company had fully developed the region’s power sector, Hongsawad’s installed generating capacity had risen from 3.7 GW to 28 GW, while annual generation increased from under 30 billion kWh to 184–211 billion kWh 177.
- Four gas-fired thermal grids served Tenasserim–Mon–Karen, Irrawaddy–Yangon–Bago, Pyinmana–Magway, and Mandalay–Sagaing 177.
- These grids had a combined installed capacity of 8.3 GW and generated approximately 63–68 billion kWh annually 177.
- The branch also conducted secret exploration for oil, natural gas, shale oil, and igneous rock oil 177.
Transport
- Qingye Group dredged the Salween River to permit 500-ton transport ships to reach Siam, improving trade between the two regions 63.
- The Dangweng River Dam was built on the Hongsawad–Siam border as part of a project to connect the Dangweng River and Siam’s Chao Phraya River 178.
- The dam’s concealed double-line, four-stage ship lock was designed for vessels of up to 20,000 tons, though its public capacity was announced as only 3,000 tons 178.
- A hidden canal through the Tanan Ta-weng Mountains was built 500–700 meters wide and 35–50 meters deep, reducing Hongsawad and Siam’s dependence on the Strait of Malacca 255.
Mining and Aerospace
Mount Lungrang in Chin State became a strategic site for secret bases, mining, and aerospace development. Lungrang Gold Mining Town publicly operated as a mining settlement, while concealing bio-mining technology and a space-launch site 180.
- Sector Seven contained magnetite with titanium, vanadium, molybdenum, and rhenium; the broader Mount Lungrang deposit was estimated at 870 million tons of magnetite 181 182.
- New mining technology allowed planned extraction of ore veins 2–3 kilometers below ground at manageable cost 181.
- Hongsawad Development Group launched the 4.2-ton Hongsawad One communications satellite, attracting surveillance and threat assessments from major powers 251.
- A second launch, publicly presented as the satellite Venus, was a missile body carrying 12 Arrow Missiles. It released the submunitions against 12 fishing boats before Hongsawad attributed the incident to a technical malfunction 252.
Security and Military
- Elephant Mountain Fortress, 11.4 kilometers from the Hongsawad–India border, was concealed by the Green Umbrella System and contained an underground command complex 236.
- Its magnetic-field radar could monitor Assam’s middle and upper airspace and ultra-low-altitude areas within roughly 260 kilometers; it was integrated with 18 radar stations through an internal fiber-optic network 236.
- Homo sapiens Company also converted more than 300 remote mountain villages in Assam and nearby regions into disguised bases for surveillance, infiltration, and long-term deployment 236.
- During Level 2 combat readiness, Hongsawad openly armed New Human “militia.” The branch had approximately 6.32 million New Human employees, representing 12% of its total workforce 281.
- Hongsawad’s military assets included aviation and field divisions deployed to Jaffna City during the Ceylon intervention 249.
Society
Qingye Medical used free physical examinations to collect medical data and rapidly train remolded doctors. Qingye Medical had more than 3,000 doctors, whose biochips allowed rapid access to medical literature and clinical specialization; this sharply improved Hongsawad’s medical standards 102.
- Qingye Medical developed rapid test papers, special medicines for AIDS and rabies, and scarless scar-removal serum 125.
- Cloud Top Sanatorium in Xingwei Town specifically served Chinese patients seeking treatment unavailable in China 125.
- Restaurants run by companies became the preferred choice for many households because of standardized hygiene, pricing, ingredients, and staggered factory work schedules 223.
- Hongsawad’s rapid urbanization drew residents from rural areas into industrial cities, contributing to rural population loss and declining local jewelry demand 387.
Notable Events
- Pyinmana takeover — Wu Kaile seized Pyinmana after being manipulated by Domino, accelerating the Homo sapiens system’s political consolidation 92.
- Golden Yuan introduction — Hongsawad prohibited the circulation of foreign currencies and the old Myanmar Kyat, establishing the limited gold-standard Golden Yuan 113.
- Satellite demonstration — Hongsawad One’s successful launch and Venus’s disguised missile strike exposed the region’s strategic aerospace capability 251 252.
- Level 2 mobilization — Hongsawad activated combat readiness and armed its New Human militia amid the threat of American invasion 281.
