Neither of these quotes are by the Japanese Prime minister, Tojo, or the Emperor or anyone in a position to make a surrender offer. Nor do they say that an offer of surrender was made in the spring as you maintain. After-the-fact opinions given by generals in no way changes the fact that NO SURRENDER OFFER WAS MADE.
It is a fact that no such offer was made and your first statement was incorrect as is your persistance in maintaining that position above.
