陈济棠、陈策与1932年粤海风潮

Chen Jitang and Chen Ce in the Navy Unrest of Guangdong in 1932

陈济棠、陈策1932年因海军改隶问题引致一场政潮。事件过程曲折反复,二陈互不相让,竞相备战,以致军事相向,中间几经调停,最终达成和解。风潮并非由私人恩怨引致,乃系权力之争使然,孙科派系积极参与调停。双方政治地位、军事实力、舆论导向、自身问题等决定了危机走向。风潮为粤派势力的一次严重内耗,导致双方大量人员伤亡、财产损失。陈济棠表面占据上风,但冲突中没有真正的赢家,受损的是国家和民族利益。

In the year of 1932, China witnessed a political unrest, because general Chen Jitang disputed against general Chen Ce over the issue of navy transfer. This dispute was full of twists and turns, and as neither of these two generals would give in, they resorted to force, but which was eventually settled with a compromise between both sides after several mediations. However, it should be noted that the unrest, directed by the factors of political status, military strength, individual problems of both sides and direction of public opinion and so on, was not caused by personal clashes but power struggles, and the actively mediating effort from Sun Fo faction led it to the end. This political crisis, resulted in heavy casualties and property losses, was an internal fight within Guangdong factions. Although it looked like that general Chen Jitang gained the upper hand, the state and na-tional interests were damaged indeed, since there was no winner in the internal conflict of the country beset with external troubles.
