BLUFF THAT WORKS

BLUFF THAT WORKS

My attack on Singapore was a bluff - a bluff that worked. I had 30,000 men and was outnumbered more than three to one. I knew that if I had to fight long for Singapore, I would be beaten. That was why the surrender had to be at once. I was frightened the whole time that time British would discover our numerical weakness and lack of supplies, and force me into disastrous street fighting.

                   I was shocked that the British didn't realised that the weakness of the Japanese army were hidden by the wonderful idea of Yamshita. From what my opinion is, without these bluff, I don't think they will work on British.
