i dissagree. if japan would have hit hard and strong, sink the US carriers and the rest of the fleet. they could have probably gone for the gold. after stiking pearl bypass hawaii and head straight for the US mainland. your right about the US industial power being able to crank out things much faster than the japanese ever could and Yamamoto knew this, that is why he tried to convince the cabinet to avoid war with the US in the first place. But i am convinced that japan could have got the US to sign a ceasefire. therefore i dont think japan could have got the US to unconditionaly surrender but they could of really stuck it to them.
