Chapter 899: Chapter 487, He Should Step Down_2

However, this function is to a considerable extent diverted by various other institutions within the Empire. The Tribunal is specialized in this area; when things escalate to war, the regular forces such as the Star Realm Army and the Navy will step in, and if needed, the Interstellar Warriors as well. The Sect of Mechanics and the State Religion will also send forces to interfere when similar situations arise...

Everyone seems to have a say in this prime function of the Legal Department, even outdoing it sometimes. Who can they turn to for reasoning in such scenarios?

Actually, this whole process doesn't conflict much. In reality, a large amount of Cult activities, whether chaotic or alien, won't disturb the Interstellar Warrior Battle Group or the Tribunal before they become significant threats. That's when the Legal Department steps in, and if they can't handle it, things have escalated. At this point, the Legal Department often becomes the last line of defense in the region, struggling to maintain the status quo while waiting for support from the Interstellar Warriors or the Tribunal.

Doing the most and the most trivial tasks, and when a major incident occurs, they turn into a backdrop, becoming a footnote to others' success... From this angle, the Legal Department is indeed somewhat pitiful.

And for an ambitious Minister of Justice who wants to accomplish something, it seems intolerable for such situations to persist for long.

At least, that's how Gu Hang felt during the meeting.

Led by the Minister of Justice, High Lord Ou Juren, this group is undoubtedly a strong and powerful political faction within the Imperial Central Government. Just Ou Juren alone, as one of those standing at the apex of Empire power, is very strong. Not to mention, there is also a Deputy Premier of the Department of Taxation and Galaraldo, an Executive Minister at the Military Affairs Department. The remaining dozen or so members are, at the least, high commissioners.

Together, they can exert influence on various agencies of the Central Government towards their common governance goals and interests.

As a political faction, led by Ou Juren, they have a core idea, which Gu Hang perceived: centralizing power, government centralization.

This centralization, moreover, is not just reflected between the Central and local governments, but it also becomes apparent in the relationship between the government and various other political organizations within the Empire.
