Perhaps you can provide the authoritative reference that substantiates your view. From what I have read, some historians believe that the soviet invasion was partly responsible for the timing of the surrender, but it's contribution is difficult to know. These events happened in short order. Unless you have a source from the Imperial Army or government that documents the decision making, it's all speculation. Also, I find it interesting that the soviet military waited for the second bomb before invading. Were they being opportunistic?
