Among the traitors, there is no one who is more eloquent than Qi Xieyuan.
In August 1945, after Japan's unconditional surrender, he was put on trial in a military court, and Qi Xieyuan gave full play to his ability to argue and was very tough, saying: "Wang Jingwei is a traitor because he listens to the Japanese; Chiang Kai-shek is a traitor because he listens to the Americans." I Qi Xieyuan is not a traitor, because I only listen to my own. ”
At first glance, it sounds like there is some truth, but careful analysis shows that Qi Xieyuan is purely using the principle of sophistry to do sophistry.
Wang Jingwei listened to the Japanese as a traitor, and what he said was not wrong, because we had experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan, and listening to the Japanese and being a puppet of the Japanese was definitely a traitor.
Is Chiang Kai-shek a traitor who listens to the Americans? Obviously wrong.
At that time, there were two major camps in the world, fascism and anti-fascism, China, as the main member of the anti-fascist alliance, and Chiang Kai-shek was the supreme commander of the allied theaters of operations in China, India, and Burma.
Then let's take a look at how Qi Xieyuan listens to himself.
Qi Xieyuan, formerly known as Qi Ying, a native of Ninghe County, Tianjin, was born in 1879, he was flexible and eloquent from a young age, he could say that death was alive, and he also passed the xiucai of the late Qing Dynasty, but later he chose to abandon The Army and applied for the Beiyang Baoding Army Academy.
After arriving in the army, Qi Xieyuan gave full play to his talent for clever words and eloquence, and fought badly, but with a three-inch tongue, he protected Guan Yun Hengtong all the way, and he successively served as the chief of staff of the Sixth Town of the Beiyang Army, the commander of the Sixth Division and the defender of Jiangning Town, the overseer of Jiangsu, the inspector of SuWangan, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Fourteen Provinces Thief Coalition Army, and the envoy of Jiangbei Zhaofu, and became a warlord along the way.
In July 1937, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Qi Xieyuan defected to the Japanese in Beiping and became a traitor, which was simply a disgrace to the Beiyang warlords. In October of the same year, together with Wang Kemin, Wang Yitang and others, he organized the Preparatory Office for the Puppet Government, planned the establishment of a puppet North China Provisional Government, formed and commanded the Puppet Security Army, and successively served as a member of the North China Political Affairs Committee and the Superintendent of the General Administration of Public Security, and the commander-in-chief of the Puppet North China Appeasement Army.
This organization is ostensibly a regional autonomous organization, but in fact they are only seen by the Japanese, doing the role of mutilating their own compatriots and acting as accomplices in Japan's aggression against China. Can this be said to be listening to oneself?
There is definitely no good end when you are a traitor.
After Japan's unconditional surrender, Qi Xieyuan was arrested. In the military court, he used various means to justify his traitorous behavior, but the legal net was restored without leakage, and no matter how much he defended himself, he could not escape the punishment of historical justice. In 1946, Qi Xieyuan was executed by firing squad in Nanjing at the age of 67.
