Today's evening class is "International Relations of Overseas Diplomacy".
It is a major elective course.
The large classroom with two hundred people was bustling with people.
He Ao is still in the corner of the edge, and there is still some white space around it.
However, West Capital University is very big, and not everyone has heard of the reputation of He Ao, so there are still some people sitting around him.
Liu Nan and Yuan Nan Nan are sitting next to He Ao.
The lecturer on the stage is Old Professor, who is quite prestigious in international relations. At this moment, he is speaking calmly about the theme of this class, "The impact of the Tia Empire on Central Land's ocean-going diplomatic relations."
This class is very popular among West Capital University students, not just because Old Professor lectures from the shallower to the deeper and has high academic attainments. More importantly, Old Professor does not take exams and only writes papers at the end of the semester, which gives high marks.
Liu Nan looked at He Ao next to her with some curiosity. She and He Ao used to have classes together, and He Ao could always listen to the class attentively.
And these two days, He Ao seems to be a little... distracted?
Liu Nan moved his eyes to Old Professor on the podium. At this moment, the professor was talking about the Tia Empire's diplomatic philosophy.
"There is a vast ocean between the Tia Empire and Central Land. The empire occupies a whole new continent to itself, surrounded by only some scattered island countries.
Tia Empire regards these countries as forbidden areas and does not allow others to get involved.
They manipulated the political structures of these small countries to maximize the interests of the empire.
The most typical one is Alano. Arano Republic consists of a large island and many affiliated islands. It has a large amount of oil resources on its land and territorial waters, and its oil reserves account for 10% of the world's.
And these oil resources are controlled by the Tia Empire multinational companies..."

Naya town
He Ao stared at this special visitor in front of him. He expected that the visitor would come, but he did not expect that the visitor would come faster than Dawn.
The person in front of him has blond curly hair, fair skin, and a long hooked nose. He is completely different from the local race of Alano.
The other person was wearing a crisp formal suit and looked polite.
Around Alano, there is only one place where such a race can exist, Tia Empire.
Most of the residents of Alano are indigenous people who have lived on this land since ancient times, and their race is similar to that of Central Land.
And Tia Empire were the later immigrants from West Land. They occupied the New World and expelled the indigenous people to the surrounding islands.
However, there are still many indigenous people who stay, marry immigrants, and breed offspring.
Most of the population of the Tia Empire are the mixed descendants of indigenous people and immigrants, while the ruling class has maintained its bloodline from West Land through internal marriages.
The person in front of me has obvious characteristics of a West Land person, so his status in the Tia Empire is probably not low.
In fact, He Ao didn't know Tia Empire that deeply before. He just learned all this knowledge in class.
Learn now and use it now.
Obviously, this is a messenger from the Tia Empire.
"You came to me, what do you want to do?"
He Ao leaned on the chair and looked calmly at the messenger of the Tia Empire in front of him.
The chaos of Alano can almost be said to have been caused by the Tia Empire.
President, the predecessor of Arano Republic, wanted to take back the oil fields and nationalize the oil.
Then he was assassinated the next month, the cabinet collapsed, and Alano fell into a warlord melee that lasted for more than ten years.
The sudden rise of Free Sailor, in addition to Dawn, probably also has the shadow of the Tia Empire.
"Mr. Hu Wen is the senior executive of Dawn. The empire has always been very friendly with everyone at Dawn,"
The messenger was very polite and said with a smile on his face.
Obviously, he has investigated the identity of He Ao.
A powerful C-Rank is considered a heavyweight in today's Transcendental world.
"Well," He Ao raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest, "So?"
"I heard that Mr. Hu Wen wants to reunify the forces of Free Sailor. We admire this behavior very much, so we came to see sir and want to do our best."
The messenger still said gently and with a smile.
The same behavior will draw different conclusions in the eyes of different forces.
He Ao's behavior of directly using Dawn to pull the banner will naturally make Dawn himself frightened and panicked, but Tia Empire will be pleasantly surprised.
They wish that He Ao could immediately reorganize Free Sailor, continue to fight with Coastline Defense Force to prevent the unification of Alano, and also bring Dawn in to compete with Research Institute and weaken Research Institute's power.
They were like carrion-eating vultures, always circling in the sky, rushing up at every opportunity.
Not even a few hours after the news about He Ao spread, they found He Ao directly, and their actions were not unpleasant.
"What can you give me?"
He Ao squinted his eyes and looked at the messenger with a smile.
"If you are willing, I can persuade the bankers of the empire to provide you with a low-interest loan worth 25 million gold shields with an annual interest rate of no more than 3%. You can also directly exchange this loan for weapons.
This is a very good deal. Before you, Mr. Balan also borrowed this loan. It only took him a year and a half to pay off the loan. "
The messenger said slowly.
Gold shield is the currency of the Tia Empire, and the exchange rate ratio with Central Land currency is about 2.5:1. Twenty-five million gold shields are exchanged for ten million yuan of Central Land currency.
"Are you here on behalf of the bank?"
He Ao put his hand on the table and looked at the messenger calmly.
"I represent Alano Business Alliance."
The messenger said softly.
Alano Business Alliance is a monopoly alliance dominated by oil multinational companies that control the Alano oil industry. Except for the word "Alano" in its name, this alliance has basically nothing to do with Alano.
"Oil company,"
He Ao tapped the table gently. A bank loan was said to be help, but it was actually an investment. It only charged 3% interest. For bankers, it was considered "help".
After all, for them, making less or no profit is a loss.
For a local warlord, a loan of 25 million gold shields plus interest would definitely not be repaid after the loan was used.
Then there are only civilians from Alano and cargo ships at sea. As long as you scrape the land quickly enough, you can pay back the money soon and make a lot of money.
Twenty-five million a year and a half.
So Free Sailor is famous for its cruelty.
If you are a serious warlord, this may be a good choice, but unfortunately He Ao is not a serious warlord.
He Ao opened Satellite Phone and found the deeds sent by Zuo Nuo for the property of Free Sailor that Zuo Nuo took over. Then he handed it to the messenger,
"Look at how much these can be mortgaged."
The messenger took the phone, checked it carefully for a while, and made a few more calls. After almost an hour, he reported the number to He Ao.
"After calculation, your properties are worth about 100 million gold shields. Judging from the current situation, if you want a mortgage loan, we can loan you up to 75%, which is 75 million gold shields, and the interest rate is below 3%."
At this moment He Ao has walked out of the office and stood on the street.
He glanced at the blood on the ground and said softly, "Seventy-five million is too fragmentary. Round it up and make it 100 million."
The messenger opened his mouth, is this how rounding is used?
But he also saw blood on the ground.
He finally made no sound.
"I don't want your aid loan anymore. I'll just mortgage it."
He Ao glanced at him and said, "The mortgage period is one year. If the mortgage is overvalued in the end, I won't ask you for it. If it's not worth it, don't ask me to make up for it."
Isn't this equivalent to selling those properties to us for RMB 100 million and having to wait a year to receive them?
The messenger realized that something was wrong, but he still tried his best to maintain a smile and said slowly, "Your properties are all in the territory of Coastline Defense Force. If something goes wrong by then, we may not be able to take over."
"That's your business," He Ao smiled, "Aren't you here to help me? My property is currently unsalable and cannot be sold, so I really need your help."
The messenger's face turned almost completely dark.
"Mr. Hu Wen, since you are unwilling to accept our 'help', don't entertain us."
He looked at He Ao, his face finally no longer concealed,
"You are just one of Alano warlords, big and small. We are willing to help you and support you because we respect you. If you are not willing, we can also support others.
You have Transcendental power, but the empire does not lack Transcendental people. In front of the empire, I hope you can put away your arrogance. Arrogant people often pay the price with their lives. "
This is already a naked threat.
He Ao glanced at the messenger.
This messenger is still too young and his mentality is not very good.
He slowly squatted down, dug out a bloody scab from the gap in the road under his feet, and crushed it bit by bit. He looked at the messenger with a smile and said slowly,
"Yesterday, this man tried to attack me from behind, and then he fell to the ground, and blood came out from here, through this gap,"
He squatted half-crouched, moved forward step by step, and traced his fingers along the bright red slit, "It has been flowing along here, flowing and flowing, and it has reached this small ditch... Oh, the blood stains here have been washed away..."
He Ao stood up and walked to the messenger's side. His two palms were slightly suspended in front of the messenger's cheeks, simulating a shape and showing a smile. "I still remember his appearance. He was about the same age as you and about the same size... This is where the knife went in..."
The messenger stared blankly at the gentle man in front of him, watching him gesticulating on his neck, and watching his smiling face.
His heart felt like he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and fear was spreading layer by layer.
His body was stiff and trembling. He wanted to escape, but he was so depressed that he couldn't even lift his steps.
"Young people should not be too impatient,"
He Ao patted his shoulder, helped him straighten his clothes, and looked at the sweat dripping from his cheeks.
"I am very sincere. Go back and tell your masters. I think they will accept my proposal. If they still need to consider it, I remember that there are three oil fields in Free Sailor's territory..."
