By "they" you mean a handful of officials who held no military power.

A cursory glance at the Wikipedia page would show you that this sentiment was not shared:

"On August 7, a day after Hiroshima was destroyed, Dr. Yoshio Nishina and other atomic physicists arrived at the city, and carefully examined the damage. They then went back to Tokyo and told the cabinet that Hiroshima was indeed destroyed by an atomic bomb. Admiral Soemu Toyoda, the Chief of the Naval General Staff, estimated that no more than one or two additional bombs could be readied, so they decided to endure the remaining attacks, acknowledging "there would be more destruction but the war would go on." American Magic codebreakers intercepted the cabinet's messages."

"The senior leadership of the Japanese Army began preparations to impose martial law on the nation, with the support of Minister of War Korechika Anami, in order to stop anyone attempting to make peace."

Honestly, if you aren't even aware of the disparate factions within the Japanese government during WWII, you aren't really knowledgeable enough to speak as authoritatively about the subject as you seem to be trying to do. There were several, and the one you are referencing was not the one in power. American leadership was aware of this, even if you are not.

I'm not trying to be unduly harsh, but you have considerable emotion invested on a topic you've clearly never studied well. Might I suggest you do?
