转向联德，还是继续亲英美？--滇缅路事件后国民党内曾谋划调整外交路线

Ally with Germany,or Continue to Side with Great Britain and the USA? A Page from the Guomindang's Attempt at Diplomatic Realignment after the Yunnan-Burma Road Incident

1940年7月,迫于日本的压力,英国同意封锁滇缅公路3个月。中国朝野对此十分不满,国民党高层出现了与英断交、转向联德的呼声,并已开始试探性的行动。但时任国民党中宣部长的王世杰等人力拒此议,并说服蒋介石基本维持原外交策略,尤其是稍后国际局势的变化(如德意日结成同盟,德意承认汪伪,英美对日日趋强硬等等),联德之议最终被放弃。国民党内这次调整外交路线的讨论,虽未在事实上引起重大震动,但所涉问题,关乎国民政府的大政方针,足以牵动中国抗战大局,也反映了国民党内一些重要人士此期间的政治见解和思想动态。

In July 1940,under Japanese pressure,Great Britain agreed to close off the Yunnan-Burma road for three months.The Chinese government and the general public were very upset at this action,and in the Guomindang leadership there were calls to sever diplomatic relations with Britain and ally with Germany.Some officials even began to take some exploratory measures.However,Wang Shijie,the director of the Guomindang Central Committee's Department of Propaganda,and some other officials strongly opposed this suggestion and persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to maintain the existing diplomatic strategy.The suggestion of allying with Germany was finally abandoned due to these factors,and particularly due to later changes in the international situation(i.e.the alliance between Germany,Italy and Japan,and their recognition of the Wang Jingwei puppet regime;and the USA's ever-toughening stance towards Japan).Although the Guomindang's discussion of diplomatic re-alignment did not actually cause any major upheavals,the issues involved were tied to the Nationalist government's major policies,and were important enough to have an overall impact on China's war of resistance.These issues also reflected the political ideas and thoughts of important figures in the Guomindang.
