And as you mentioned even IF they were able to do what you have suggested they would have to take into consideration the logistics,shipping and manpower to hold the captured "allied Island bases" that the Japanese didn't have. It just couldn't be done and is in the realm of "What If?". And even then the US wouldn't sue for peace. Pearl Harbor and the Philippines was too much for the American people to take and the rage and determination and desire for revenge that occurred because of them would still exist.
