1) Nobody except the Order knows of the Satsuma being intact as of now. Its stay in Chugoku was very brief and far off usual patrol routes. It never belonged to BD. I've even told you I expect some diplomatic fallout on several ends over it anyways. Not just with BD.
2) Purposefully undermined the bloodline? How so? Because two "2-3% true-blood" Hideyoshi descendants turned over to seek refugee with GC during a past version of BD? Where else should they have gone to? Die like dogs? Funfact, they didn't have to addict themselves to Cardamine. They were welcomed as honored guests.
3) The negotiation - past and today - of BD and GC regarding Cardamine has been the simple rule of never dealing it on BD installations. This point was always a possibility to conflict, additionally, with BD growing out of their vanilla state, where they required GC for almost ANY supplies, the alliance could possibly cripple (dev thing, would require discussion, don't actively wanna go this way yet).
4) SCRA's Communist Party died quite long ago. During the last votes, they didn't even have a single seat anymore. SCRA was never a true ally of BD too. They are business partners, something Tabris made up back then. It never benefitted BD all too much. GMG is a far more reliable partner there.
Here comes the Wedjat Division 4 now:
1) Satsuma ain't stolen. So no aiding "OC allies" - who have VERY individual diplomacy compared to OCs - with a stolen ship. Mind you, GC is not controlled by OCs. OCs require the Orange Alliance to keep Cardamine flowing. Barrier Passage is dumb for Cardi economy, breaks vanilla sense behind triangle alliance of OC-GC-LH and even then should be far too risky for effective Cardi spread so the common route is still the safest.
2) True, Order helped the Shogun mentioned there. I believe it had reasons, like friendship or so?
3) Anti-BD heretics get shot at, all of them. - Wedjat 4 statement.
On a last note: BD does require a few more friends. They are bound between GC, Order and GMG as main partners. Loose, cordial relations with LH or the business with Coalition isn't much. Radical change of diplomacy to face Kusari alongside with Rheinland, could be a possible scenario. If, but only if, Rheinland promised to acknowledge the returned BD rulership as true head of Kusari. Else, I fear, the Blood Dragons would always choose to defeat Gaijins over Kusarians.
Thi just kinda agrees with more of what I said rather than disproves it. Regarding the Satsuma though look at the ships lore, its rightfully BDs or Navy, GC having it makes as much sense a AFC.
