I recently read a book about power , live to fight another day, that was not suzaku's
original intent but they have lived to fight another day, maybe on far better terms for
them , rather than going extinct.

As I said, there is actually a problem with that; had Japan surrendered without a fight, many
more countries would have been conquered by now. Even to the present day, the actions of Zero is diverting Cornelia's military forces from invading any more people.
The argument that there would be less deaths if Japan had given up is moot. Japan was not Britannia's goal, but merely one of many stepping stones on the way to world domination. Thus, Japan's early surrender would not stop anything, but merely make Britannians more lethal elsewhere.
