When and if it suites them they can attack the Japanese land forces in China and Siberia.
There is also the Commonwealth. Who will have time to build up their strength and organize.
No. Japan needs to leave quite a few in China and at least 1 or 2 in Korea. Plus keep some for defence vs the Common wealth. There is also the question of how many they can support in Siberia at least any distance from the coast.

It isn't too hard when you have amassed a library with literally thousands of titles and have been studying this stuff for decades. All I have to do is pull a few books off the shelves and volia! Instant massive data.

Well in that case, i concede defeat to Japanese Ground forces, but you would have to say at least it would be brutal and bloody on both sides.
