Why the some of the british generals at the conference will suggest to surrender.

Firstyly the British and Commonwealth forces surrendered at Singapore largely because of the swiftness & surprise in the attacks by the Japanese in the Malay peninsula.

Secondly the hugely stretched by the potential war in Europe & the actual war against the Axis in North Africa the British lacked the resources to defend the Far East against Japanese aggression.
 
But for me,brithish should not surrender or should not surrender so early,because the british had more soilder than  Japan and Lieutenant-General Percival was also trying as far as possible to avoid surrendering to the Japanese, because he will lose all his power after surrender , and lose a lot of money for the british goverment because singapore was very valueable,but he had no choose he was choose to surrender at the end . there were two main reason ,firstly the Japanese actually tricked Singapore by lying that a huge troop of Japanese would come and attack Singapore the next day if the British did not surrender.The second reason  was there was a shortage of food and ammunition, and the Japanese had cut off water supply from Johore.


But the Japanese actually did not have that big troop of army and their supply of necessities were depleting. If the British did not surrender, the losing side might be the Japanese instead.



  
The south-east and south-west of Singapore  have been mapped  out .The british had to keep track of Japanese aircraft movement because they need to how to arrange the weapon and focus on some place to defend singapore more success.

We have also seen in his paper wrote about the important of messange on that day since they have to detete is after 3 days , also he wrote that the British need to delete all the message beause they did not want the Japanish to know or find any important message since they could find the battle box
The bunker is 9 metres long and it is built underground so that enemies cannot hear what the british are doing. When enemies drop bomb it will not affect anything. Also its hard foe Japanish to found this since is deep under the ground.
The green metal door can help the Singapore armies to defend from range attacks in Singapore as the metal door is very thick and solid. So the attacks cannot past through.
We have found an important clue in Sherlock Holmes office which helps in his investigation. when we went to fort canning park. This is what we have found......

Why the hill is a good location for the fort? :D

By late 1859, increased security concerns led to the hill taking on a military role with the demolition of the governor's residence, and the building of a fort with an arms store, barracks and a hospital.
