I think they would have had so much invested in repelling the invasion, they would have made us do so.

That would be the position of the military command, the Emperor was looking to end the war as he could see that the end was near.

Most of the military high command was ready to keep on fighting even after the second bomb

Would the Emperor had pulled the plug without the second Bomb, I like to think so but of course we will never know.
