“罗斯福曾下令杀掉蒋介石”质疑

这篇文章已经在简体汉字的网站上传开了，得花一点时间才能找到原作者，但似乎还没有不人云亦云的。这事情一读便让人生疑。在网上查"blue whale"和"chiang 
kai-shek"唯一找到的一篇在
http://www.republicanchina.org/MoneyTrail.html
说
Communist records claimed that assassination was under Stilwell order, code-named "Blue Whale", for the time period of March 
1944 when Chiang Kai-shek was expected to inspect on Chinese army in India. The truth was that Roosevelt dispatched a WWI-era 
ace to take the assassination order to Stilwell who passed it on to Frank Dorn. Though *Roosevelt did not give the go-ahead 
order*, Stilwell and his cronies apparently took advantage of every possibility to sabotage the cause of Chiang Kai-shek.

两*是我加的。"蓝鲸"一词在英语里基本只有可能是blue whale．用关键词"blue whale"和"chiang kai-shek"只找到那一篇文章，并且它明确指出是Communist 
records．这使得"蓝鲸"行动一说有疑点．

另，在books.google.com上查，可以看到
The China-Burma-India campaign, 1931-1945: historiography and annotated, by Eugene L. Rasor
"some outrageous claims are made, such as Stilwell was ordered to assassinate Chiang"

Frank Dorn的书＂Walkout; with Stilwell in Burma＂被“罗斯福曾下令杀掉蒋介石”引用。我手头没有这本书，但在books.google.com上可查到片断：
258 pages - Snippet view
"Whatever it is." "Well, here goes then. I have been directed to prepare a plan for the assassination of Chiang Kai-shek." 
"Assassinate him?" I asked incredulously. "The order did not say to kill him," Stilwell stated flatly.
根据

罗斯福向Stilwell传指令可能是由Eddie Rickenbacker完成的。见Rickenbacker的自传 p.363, Prentice Hall 1967。

关山月先生有一篇颇为客观的文章：

作者最后一段谈到暗杀蒋介石计划，但一字未提罗斯福，只是在小标题里提到美国政府。我本人想，罗斯福是小心谨慎或有点胆怯的人，说他有暗杀蒋介石的想法实在
难以置信。别的我不评论，我只想指出"罗斯福曾下令杀掉蒋介石"一文的疑点，包括在英文文献中找不到的“蓝鲸”行动。

总之，“罗斯福曾下令杀掉蒋介石”不是史家的共识，说Stilwell下令杀掉蒋介石恐怕更正确。

周军先生的文章 http://zhoujun.blshe.com/post/349/14614 对“罗斯福要暗杀蒋介石”一文进行了追踪溯源。简言之，文章源自《环球时报》 (2007-01-19 第13版)，后者源自1991年人民出版社出版的《大国之魂》和2000年黄河出版社出版的《烟雨金陵》，这两本书是曲解1982年由商务印书馆翻译出版的《美国十字军在中国》(Michael Schaller, "The U.S. Crusade In China, 1938-1945")而附会的。
