Obtaining information was originally Chu Tianjiang's strength.

Because there was monitoring equipment in the library, Chu Tianjiang took a few books and pretended to read them. It's just that reading isn't the way to get information.

As an energy person, Chu Tianjiang can completely use his consciousness to obtain the information recorded in books.

Although subjectively speaking, this is also reading, it is just reading through consciousness, that is, the information obtained through consciousness appears in Chu Tianjiang's mind like a slide, and then is remembered. But in terms of efficiency, this way is much higher than reading. How much is it higher, Chu Tianjiang is not very clear. It only took him one night to get most of the information in the library. In the same amount of time, even if it was ten lines at a glance, Chu Tianjiang could only read a few books with a thickness of about a thousand karma at most.

Of course, there are more than just books in the library.

Most of the information is electronic, and only the most important information is backed up in paper. In addition, there are some books from ancient times.

The information has been gathered, and it needs to be processed.

For Chu Tianjiang, the way to process information is also very simple, that is, to find keywords and write down the content related to them.

By the next morning, Chu Tianjiang had obtained all the information in the library, including the confidential information that Laika had not given him access to.

In this information, Chu Tianjiang found the reason why Rockwell valued him.

Like most of the soldiers of the Doomsday Empire, Rockwell did not have a deep family background, but became the commander of the legion on his own. Of course, before the collapse of the Doomsday Empire, his legion was nothing at all, so his status in the army was also low.

Rockwell was born with superpowers, and was born with a level 3 enhanced superpower.

As an adult, Rockwell's superpowers reached the level of five enhancements, which was the highest level that natural evolution could achieve. It was precisely because of this that Rockwell was selected by the Imperial Military Department, successfully entered the Military Academy, and accepted the concoction after the official service.

With his background, this is already a remarkable achievement.

In peacetime, the size of the Doomsday Empire's military was tightly controlled, and officers often had to wait decades for promotions. A soldier like him, who has no family background, often needs to serve for ten years as a reserve officer before he can become a full-fledged officer and then be modulated. After graduating from the military academy, he became a full-fledged officer and was modulated, indicating that he possessed superior strength.

Of course, strength is just a stepping stone.

For a professional soldier, having enough strength is just ten years less than others to get a formal military position.

If you want to climb up and become a middle-level officer, or even a general, you don't just rely on strength, and you don't even need strength at all.

The reason is simple, the superpowers obtained by modulation can be improved through modulation.

To put it bluntly, only after the rank is promoted, can you accept the modulation and obtain the corresponding superpowers.

At this time, the family background determines the future of the soldier.

Unfortunately, Rockwell had no family background.

If he hadn't done what had followed, he would have been able to attain the unofficial rank of "Reserve Major" after fifty years of service, and would have been honorably discharged from the army, returning home with a generous pension and a monthly retirement allowance.

In fact, this is also the end of ninety percent of junior officers.

The reason is that only 10 percent of low-ranking officers can be promoted to mid-level officers, and less than 1 in 10,000 can become generals.

Another factor that has made Rockwell where he is today is his ambition.

Rockwell has no family background, but nepotism can also make a military man prosperous.

At the age of twenty-five, Rockwell married the daughter of a general, a shrew ten years older than him and very well-known in high-level circles. This woman is not unbeautiful, thanks to the eugenics project, the descendants of high-ranking generals can definitely be said to be perfect in appearance and figure. The problem is that eugenics engineering can only determine the body, not the character. It is the education and environment that develops character.

This marriage gave Rockwell the opportunity to far surpass the soldiers of his class.

Over the next two decades, Rockwell could be said to have risen to prominence, rising from the most basic warrant officer to major general.

It's just that the benefits of nepotism have come to an end.

With the decline of his father-in-law in the military department, Rockwell's career ran into trouble.

At this time, the third factor that determined his fate came into play, that is, ruthlessness.

In that internal struggle in the military department, Rockwell turned against himself at the last moment, and as the embodiment of justice, he personally came forward to report the mistakes committed by his father-in-law, which was appreciated by those in power in the military department, and then he was promoted to lieutenant general and became the deputy commander of the Storm City garrison.

About fifteen years later, with the retirement of the commander of the garrison, that is, the commander of the corps, Rockwell became the new commander.

Of course, in peacetime, Rockwell's career was almost over.

Storm City is only a small city, the size of the garrison is not very large, and the status of the Northern Military Region in the military department is not very high. If there had been no war, Rockwell would have served here until the day he was discharged, which was when he was eighty years old.

As for becoming the commander of a military district, it is almost impossible.

In the Doomsday Empire, the real power is in the hands of several big families, and the most direct manifestation is that the four major military regions of the empire are controlled by big families, and only members or cronies of these big families can become military commanders, and others have no chance at all.

Obviously, Rockwell is not a member of the big family, and he can't be a cronie of the big family.

The problem is that the apocalyptic empire suddenly collapses and war comes, giving Rockwell a new hope.

That is, with Storm City as the center, control the entire Northern Military District, and then use the Northern Military Region as the basis to advance to the eastern and western regions to the south.

It's just that Rockwell needs to solve one problem, and that is the commander of the Northern Military District, who is in front of him.

Although Rockwell is the deputy commander of the military district, according to the military system of the Doomsday Empire, all titles with "deputy" are false. More importantly, the commander of the military region has control over the deputy commander and is able to directly issue orders to all officers and soldiers in the military district through mental control. Although the Doomsday Empire no longer exists, the military system established by the Doomsday Empire has not completely disappeared.

It is clear that as long as the commander of the military district is alive, Rockwell will not have any chance.

Only by getting rid of the military commander and first reaching the city of Yanyang, where the military district headquarters is located, and taking control of the military district headquarters, Rockwell can become the ruler of the Northern Military District.

The question is, how to get rid of the commander of the military district?

It is important to know that the most powerful superpowers are soldiers, and Rockwell can only mobilize the officers and soldiers of the legion, and these soldiers are also loyal to the commander of the military district. If there is a conflict between the orders of the commander of the corps and the commander of the military district, the obedience program solidified in the soldier's mind by modulation will automatically be activated, and the soldier will obey the order of the commander of the military district.

That is, it was impossible for Rockwell to send the officers and men of the regiment against the commander of the military district.

As for civilians, it is even more impossible.

Even if there are some strong people among the civilians, but at most they are level five enhanced superpowers, and it is impossible for them to be the opponent of the commander of the military region with the five-level modulation superpower, and they can't even get close to the commander of the military region, because the commander of the military region must have a large number of guards around him.

This kind of imprisonment, which is directly fixed in the minds of the vast majority of soldiers, makes it impossible for Rockwell to rebel at all.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang's arrival gave him a chance.

Chu Tianjiang is not an imperial soldier, he has not accepted modulation, his mind has not been imprisoned, and he will not be influenced by the commander of the military region, let alone obey the orders of the commander of the military region. As long as he has strong enough superpowers, he has a chance to get rid of the commander of the military district, even if the chance is very slim.

From this, Chu Tianjiang figured out one thing.

That is, Rockwell did not let him immediately join the corps, but existed as a reservist.

Obviously, if Chu Tianjiang fails, Rockwell will push the blame away, and will definitely not stand up to take responsibility for the assassination.

Also, that beautiful woman named Laika was certainly not a legionnaire, at least not a former soldier.

Perhaps, she was Rockwell's confidant, who joined the Storm Legion after the outbreak of war, and did not accept the concoction, so she was not imprisoned in her thoughts.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianjiang became even more interested.

It's clear that Laika knows a lot of things. If you can control her, you will be able to learn a lot of things from her, and there must be information that Chu Tianjiang wants.

Let Iskar read her memories?

Chu Tianjiang immediately vetoed this method. Iskar is capable of reading anyone's memories, the problem is, it only works on people who are not psychologically guarded. For people who also have superpowers, certain special means, such as coercion, must be used to get Iskar to read the memory. What's more, he has psychic superpowers, capable of creating memory traps that can be used to preserve memories that he doesn't want to be known to others. It was impossible for Chu Tianjiang to force Laika to let Iska read her memories, and he was not sure if she had set a memory trap for herself. At least until he decided to leave Storm City and go somewhere else, Chu Tianjiang couldn't risk dealing with Laika.

In addition, while going to the hospital, Iska tried to read Laika's memories, but did not obtain useful information.

In other words, it is very likely that Laika has mental superpowers and has set a memory trap for herself.

This solution doesn't work, so I have to think of other ways, such as pulling feelings and finding some common language.
