“九·一八”事变至抗战全面爆发期间,蒋介石的对日外交带有浓厚的心理战色彩。其主要策略包括晓以利害,理性劝止;宣示决心,武力慑止;麻痹对手,秘密准备;广结盟友,孤立日本。这些策略在一定程度上延缓了日本的侵华步伐,为抗战赢得了准备时间。 During the entire outbreak of the war of resistance from “9.18”, Chiang Kai-shek’s diplomatic ties with Japan took a strong psychological war. Its main tactics include knowing the enemy’s interests and rational persuasion; declaring its determination and deterring it by force; paralyzing its opponents and secretly preparing for it; forming allies and isolating Japan. To a certain extent, these tactics have delayed the pace of Japan’s invasion of China and won preparation time for the war.
