1927年英國海軍武力進剿廣東海盜研究

The British Naval Expeditions on the Suppression of the Kwangtung Pirates, 1927

1925年五州事事件之後，奧英關係形同決裂，原有的共同合作剿盜模式無以為繼，但廣東海盜問日益惡化，對香港往來中國各地航運路線構成嚴重威脅，是以香港總督府屢次提案應由英軍自行動武治廣東海盜。英國政府內部經過複雜的政策辯論與部會角力，最終在1926年底認可香港總督所提的軍事行動計畫。於是乎，英國在1927年三度動用海陸軍進剿廣東海盜。可惜此武力政策不過實行約一年多，即證明是荒誕可笑的。

After the 30 May Incident in 1925, Canton-British relations broke down, so any military cooperation regarding the suppression of piracy was not possible. However, the problem of the Kwangtung pirates was still unresolved, and become increasingly serious as the regular traffic and shipping between Hong Kong and the Chinese coastline was became under great threat. The Governor of Hong Kong thus proposed that Britain should undertake punitive action against the pirate bases.
