Now, assuming a scenario in which the Soviets are unable to intervene in Asia (Germany holding out for another year or two perhaps) and assuming no Japanese surrender what would be the likely course of the war on the mainland? I would presume that the US blockade would keep support from islands to a minimum and of course the Chinese would still be receiving lend-lease aid. So how long could the Japanese be expected to hold out in this situation?
