摘要
1938年12月18日,汪精卫一行离渝赴昆,次日出逃往越南河内,并于12月29日发表震惊中外的“艳电”。英国对于汪精卫等人的行踪予以了高度关注。事件发生之初,英国公开谴责汪精卫的投降行为。但随着日本对英国的不断施压,尤其是欧战爆发后英国压力陡增,加之汪精卫集团积极寻求英国的接纳,使英国的态度变得犹豫,在多个场合出现相互矛盾的表态。汪伪政府成立前后,英国的政策逐渐从“绝不承认”向“不公开承认,事实上接触”转变。然而,随着德意日同盟的逐渐形成,在德意两国宣布承认汪伪政府后,英国不再拥有骑墙的空间,唯有通过抗日来维护其远东利益,这一曲折的历程深刻反映出此时英国在远东的艰难处境。
On December 18,1938,Wang Jingwei and his entourage left Chongqing for Kunming,fled to Hanoi,Vietnam the following day,and on December 29 issued the infamous“Yan Telegram,”which shocked China and the world.The British government paid close attention to Wang Jingwei's movements.Initially,Britain publicly condemned his capitulation.However,as Japan intensified pressure on Britain-especially after the outbreak of the European War,which drastically increased Britain's burdens in Europe-and as Wang's faction actively sought British recognition,Britain's stance became hesitant,with contradictory statements on multiple occasions.Around the time the Wang Jingwei puppet regime was established,British policy gradually shifted from“absolute non-recognition”to“no public recognition but de facto engagement.”Yet,as the Axis alliance between Germany,Italy,and Japan took shape,and after Germany and Italy officially recognized the Wang regime,Britain could no longer remain ambivalent.The only way to safeguard its interests in the Far East was by supporting China's resistance against Japan.This tortuous process starkly reflected Britain's precarious position in the region during this period.
