This doesn't really make sense, to be fair.  Blockaded, the Japanese weren't
capable of any of these things.  Not to debate your other point that they
may have lived to the level where the island could support whatever
population remained and gone on as before, yes that might have happened.
And that might well have necessitated the atomic bomb use.  But as such they
couldn't have done the other things.
