How did the axis powers last so long in WW2

No. There is no practical way to invade in the numbers needed without launching much of the attack from Poland.

Japan wasn’t bad at building things. Where they put their efforts, their weapons were top notch; look at how the Zero tore Allied planes to shreds earlier in the war. Japan simply did not have the resources to build weapons in the quantity AND quality to match the Allies, and had internal political rifts of the likes that no external advice was going to fix.
