Chapter 208 That gentleman

A hidden club not far from the Congress Hall.

At this time, it was almost late at night. But the major events that happened in Tokyo today obviously could not bring the powerful figures in Tokyo toss and turn on this night, thinking about the meaning behind the Eriko bomb attack.

What is certain is that all the forces in Tokyo are taking advantage of this wave and starting to take action.

Congress Secretary Kurosawa, a young man with a prodigy who was extremely intelligent, would certainly not be idle at this important moment tonight. He wanted to report to "that gentleman" about the situation tonight.

Kurosawa also knew what happened tonight - Eriko was arrested.

This is an unexpected result.

Moreover, he was arrested by the Kyoto police.

On both sides of the corridor are decorated with European hanging candlesticks, emitting dim light like candles. At the end of the corridor is the gentleman's room.

The door is closed.

However, before seeing him, I felt the pressure.

Kurosawa took a deep breath, walked straight to the door, raised his hand and knocked it lightly.

After getting permission from the person in the room, he carefully opened the door, fearing that some loud noise would be made.

He picked it up and walked in.

I saw a figure on the desk. The figure seemed to be writing and drawing something on white paper. If I looked carefully, it was actually some line segments and graphics.

"Kurosawa-kun." The gentleman stared at the pictures on the white paper with his eyes focused on it. "Geometry is really a complex and mysterious thing. You said, why does this world look so regular and so regular? It's like it's carefully designed."

The words sounded warm, but there was a faint sense of pressure.

This is an instructive tone that the powerful person unconsciously carries.

Kurosawa swallowed his throat. The Congress secretary noticed the thick "Geometric Origin" placed on the desk, and then knew that the MP was studying other interests.

"It's so late at night." Kurosawa said, "I didn't expect you to be still studying geometry."

Kurosawa claims to be a smart person.

However, the MP in front of him was considered a person beyond his imagination.

This is probably the most knowledgeable person he has ever met.

"Do you know, Kurosawa-kun?" the gentleman said, "The events that changed the history of the East can be said to be the black ship incident. And the real decisive era of opening up the gap in the East and the West is the Age of Discovery. I have been thinking about this matter recently. Why is it, why is there such a big gap on both sides."

Then, the MP knocked on the white paper in front of him, "You said, is it a mystery? If you want to sail, you must learn to navigate. At that time, the seafarers used the method of positioning ships as triangulation. Without geometry, there was no way to locate the position of their ships in the vast ocean."

"Then, the so-called discovery of a new continent is impossible. Even if you have the technology to build a giant ship, you cannot break through the vast ocean blockade."

The MP began to speak on his own, "Do you know what this means?"

After a change of topic, he suddenly asked the secretary of Congress.

"Sir, please make clear." Kurosawa was not in the mood to pay attention to such things at this time. Great sailing and geometry are all unrelated to the things in front of him.

"You can't be so perfunctory." The gentleman's voice came.

"You might be trying to tell the details." Kurosawa could only answer, "Most people only care about the emperors and generals in history, but often ignore the details. For example, how the orders of the shogun were conveyed to the daimyos of various places, how to prevent counterfeiting during the transmission process. For example, how to count the ancient population and taxes, and how to accurately measure land and estimate output."

"People often only focus on grand narratives when reading history." Kurosawa continued, "Some people really care about how specific things are prepared. Take the wars that the people talk about, in history, the most interesting things are almost always those major battles, and the thrilling stories of winning the more with less."

"Everyone is immersed in the courageous plan and decision-making of the commander, and talks about it with relish, and cannot extricate himself." Kurosawa said, "But no one cares about the details of the marching and war. The simplest example is the soldiers' wake-up and sleeping time. How to set the soldiers' wake-up and sleeping time is a problem that seems to be almost no difficulty, but as long as you really study it, it contains a huge amount of complex details."

“No one cares about this.”

"And these are the keys to success or failure." Kurosawa said.

The Congress secretary demonstrated his outstanding on-the-spot resilience.

Within a short answer, the best answer was handed over.

It is worthy of being such a young man who can become the position of Congress secretary.

However, the MP in front of him laughed.

"Kurosawa, you are a very smart person, so I admire you very much. However, your shortcomings are that you are too entangled in these details. You are too entangled in details so that you don't see the overall situation. A person's intelligence and energy are always limited, and it is impossible to disperse into infinite details. This is your shortcomings."

"You're right, indeed these details may influence the outcome."

"But, what really controls the outcome is the general trend."

"And these details are the last straw that broke the camel's back."

"What I want to express is-" The MP picked up the white paper in front of him and admired the geometric shape inside. "Abstract concepts that seem useless sometimes come in handy. What really controls the situation is the concept in people's hearts."

"These abstract thoughts will continue to overlap over time, eventually forming the power and motivation that drives people's actions. So, don't underestimate these."

The MP looked up.

His sharp eyes fell on Kurosawa.

"Kurosawa, you have to remember. You are very smart, but your vision is always limited to these utilitarian details, so you often don't see the picture of the whole situation. If you can correct this, then your brilliant intelligence will be able to play a bigger role."

The voice of the MP rang out.

It's just a few geometric segments on white paper.

He extended such a big intention.
