摘要
一·二八事变前夕,英国为了维护上海公共租界的安全,与日本等国合作制定了上海租界《协防计划》。一·二八事变爆发之初,为避免租界沦为中日冲突的战地,英国联合美、法、意等国对日本施压,阻止日军在租界内跨防区巡逻,反对日本陆军增援上海,提出调停中日冲突的“中立区”方案。在遭到日本强硬拒绝后,英国政府接受林德利和白利南的建议,默许日军大规模增援上海,坐视甚至推动日军尽快击退中国守军。英国在一·二八事变中的因应,充分展现了其应对中日上海冲突的复杂面相与现实主义的外交政策。
On the eve of the January 28 th Incident,to maintain the safety of the Shanghai International Concession,the UK collaborated with Japan and other countries to develop The Joint Defense Plan of Shanghai International Concession.At the beginning of the Incident,in order to prevent the International Concession from becoming a battlefield of the Sino-Japanese conflict,UK exerted pressure on Japan and joined forces with the United States,France,Italy and other countries to prevent the Japanese army from patrolling across defense zones within the International Concession.They opposed the Japanese army s reinforcement of Shanghai and proposed a plan of“neutral zone”to mediate the conflict between China and Japan.With the refusal from Japan,the British government accepted Lindley and Brennan s suggestions,tacitly consenting Japan to massively reinforce Shanghai,and even pushing the Japanese army to repel the Chinese defenders as soon as possible.UK s response during the January 28 th Incident fully demonstrated its complicated and realistic foreign policy towards the Sino-Japanese conflict.
