From: Ernest Ng (5) and Doe
Min Jun (4)
In 1937
Lieutenant-Colonel Takashi got a request to lead his troop to China
and invade, but Yamashi said that if he does not want, it was fine as it was too
risky. However, they wanted to get raw materials which their country
lack of, due to the growing population.
He was also told that Southeast Asia was rich in oil and other raw
material.
Should he listen to general Yamashita invade China or should he reject his
request??
Should
Click you choice!
Should Not
So Lieutenant-Colonel Takashi decided not to invade China and get to
Southeast Asia to get raw material and spend many days to think of alternatives
to get raw materials.
However, the population of Japan grew too rapidly and were not able to
have enough food for their people and thus many had died from starvation.
So, Lieutenant-Colonel decided to start a the war but it was too late, many of
their soldier died due to starvation and many countries, which was also facing
food shortages, was not able to produce food to help them. So in the ends,
Japan became a very poor and a country of poverty until today.
Go Back
Lieutenant-Colonel Takashi thus decided to invade China
and they sent many of their troops to China.
They managed to get many resources from China
however they did not managed a full occupation on China as she
was too big.
4 million were sent to China and Japan lost a total of 2
million military and civilian combined, in all theaters and from all
causes. However, it was worth it as they did get many resources
back to Japan for their people.
However, United State of America decided to cut off their
oil supply so did the other countries.
It came to the Lieutenant-Colonel Takashi’s mind that they
should join the power of Axis. Should he?
Should
Should Not
Lieutenant-Colonel Takashi decided not to join the Axis Power
and relied on themselves to invade Southeast Asia as they felt that they
were competent enough and had enough troops to fight off their
enemies
However, he was proven wrong when the Allies managed to
invade Japan easy as they were stronger than the Japanese and Japan
did not get help from other country thus, they ended their war with other
country very soon and they had to do harsh labor work under the British.
Lieutenant-Colonel Takashi really regretted for not joining the
Axis Power as if they had joined, Japan would not have lost to the war so
soon and they could have the glory of being the master of Pacific and
Southeast Asia
Go Back
After joining the Axis Power they managed to gain some
benefits from them as Japan had Germany or Italy to help them
defend against the Allies.
They also planned their attacks together and held several
meetings with each other with militarist experts and their plan worked
well and both of them benefited and Japan could invade Southeast
Asia more easily.
Their collaboration went well.
After many years and a long journey, they reached the
causeway between Singapore and Johor.
However, at that point of time, Lieutenant Colonel Takashi
missed his family especially his children and thought of going back to
Japan. He heard that there was a chance to escape home from war
without being noticed.
Should he go back to visit his family?
Should
Should not
Takashi sneaked back home safely and managed to meet his family
in Hiroshima and really did not regret on sneaking back to Japan despite the
high risk.
However, the soldiers at the causeway were confused without
Lieutenant-Colonel Takashi and they did not know what to do and thus they
began to panic.
One of the soldier made a foolish remark and decided to charge into
Singapore before their intended plan, of bombing Pulau Ubin and Changi
before charging to Singapore.
General Percival heaved a sigh of relief as they placed sufficient
defense in Singapore and managed to eliminate the soldiers and many
Japanese soldiers were killed.
Takashi received the news and was really guilty and was summoned
by the emperor to be executed as his escaped had been exposed.
He really regretted it and really hated himself for escaping and
should have continue fighting the war… Also, he was partly caused of the fall
of Japan due to their lack of soldiers, who were killed as they did not know
what to do without their leaders.
Go Back
After much consideration, he decided to not go back to
Japan to meet his family as he felt that it was too risky and lead his
troops to the causeway.
However, when they wanted to travel through the
causeway, the British bombed the causeway to block their entry to
Singapore, which the Japanese had foreseen it luckily and were
prepared for it.
The plan was to enter through rafts and before that bomb
Pulau Ubin and Changi before their entry. However, in order to
move their tanks, they had to build another bridge between
Singapore and Malaysia.
However, the Japanese seems very lethargic and many
started complaining to Lieutenant Colonel Takashi. Takashi really
pitied them and actually decided to stop the attack of Singapore.
Should he do that?
Should
Should not
He decided to stop the war against Singapore and they
defied the Emperor’s order. The Emperor was infuriated and sent
some of his troops to catch him back.
However, Takashi and his troops were trapped in Malaysia
and thus decided to help the Allies and fight their own people. Many
were killed and in the war, Takashi spilled out most of the plans that
the Japanese have planned.
The information given, however was not valid anymore as
the Emperor knew that he would spill out the bean and thus came
up with out with other plan.
The Allies thought he was a betrayer and was lying to them
as the information does not tally and thus executed him as they
thought he was a spy and a threat to them.
If only he had continue to fight, this would not have
happened.
Go Back
However, his conscience told him that he could not do that as he was
fighting this war for the sake of the people in Japan and decided to ignore what his
troop has said and continued to fight the war.
He and his troops endured the pain and suffering they had while trying to
build the bridge and fighting the war with Singapore.
The entering to Singapore was easy as the defense war weak after they
bombed Changi and Pulau Ubin, forcing them to move their defense.
He had a fight in Bukit Timah on 11 Februrary and he was badly injured after
being shot. However, he was really very weak and was going to faint.
Should he continue to persevere or should he rest while his people protect
him as he is really important to his troops as they would not know what to do next
without him?
Should
Should not
Takashi persevere to fight in Bukit Timah and indeed it managed
to increase his troops morale however that was just temporary.
He was shot by one of the Allies troops on his chest and before he
was passed away, he really regretted for continuing to fight as he realized
that without him, his troops would be confused as they do not know what
to do next as Takashi was their leader and was the only one who was
clear about the plan on the war.
Indeed his troops did not know their next move and decided to
stay at the forest till further order from their superiors. However, in the night,
the Allies knowing of the Japanese location at the forest, dropped a
bomb at their location and most of them were killed.
Go Back
Luckily, Takashi did not continue to fight and was protected by his
troops.
When Takashi woke up from unconsciousness, the fight at Bukit Timah
ended and he was alive and the Japanese gained victory.
However, on 13 February, there was a fight in Pasir Panjang and he
did not participate as he was injured and was resting with the other injured
soldiers in a deserted hopsital.
On 14 February, Takashi was informed that they had captured most of
Singapore and the people are crammed at main city area and was really
delighted.
However, they realised that they were outnumbered and did not
enough weaponry and if British fights back, they are doom.
Should he sent his troops to retreat as soon as possible or should
not?
Should
Should not
Takashi and his troops tried to retreat Singapore as soon as
possible and the Allies who got a tipped off quickly blocked the
Japanese from escaping and the Japanese were trapped in Singapore.
They were sent to prison camps and had to do harsh labour
work for them and they suffered badly and some of them died of
starvation or illness.
Takashi did not die and managed to bear with the sufferings
they had to face. However, not long, there was an order that all the
Japanese in the prison camp must be executed and when Takashi hear
it, he was really depressed and feared of death.
On 27 Februrary, he was executed in Public and not long after, it
was the fall of the Japanese…
Go Back
Takashi, however, was not willing to give up so easily,
however, they were really outnumbered.
Luckily, Lieutenant-Yamashita came on the right time and
Takashi told Yamashita about their plight and Yamashita came up with
a plan and decided to fool General Perceval.
They managed to fool General Perceval into surrendering
Singapore and they succeeded!
You have succeed in helping Takashi and his troops in
conquering Singapore and do his country proud!
