Peetangtan was fortunate in a way, she never expected that Hun Sen would help her accomplish a great feat she had never dared to imagine! Prime Minister Peetangtan originally wanted to settle the matter and, considering the friendship between her father and Hun Sen, asked her uncle not to escalate the issue. However, it turned out that Uncle Hun Sen was unscrupulous and stabbed her in the back, leading to the suspension of her prime ministerial position. Peetangtan did not expect to lose her prime ministerial post, but she ended up accomplishing a major task she had long desired but failed to achieve. Free from concerns and sentiments, Thailand quickly reclaimed the茄子山 (Eggplant Mountain) region that had been under Cambodian control for years, and public support for her actually surged. The shrewd Hun Sen never expected that his unscrupulous actions would ironically spark a military war, and by mistake, he became the "lifeline" for Peetangtan. Although she was suspended from her position, the public suddenly realized that the former prime minister who had been criticized as "treasonous" had actually visited Cambodia in April to try to ease the situation, even pleading with Hun Sen over the phone to "avoid bloodshed among soldiers." Now that Thailand has regained its lost territory, it highlights that her previous diplomatic efforts were not weakness, but rather a strategy to gain time for subsequent military actions. Now, with mediation from China, the US, and ASEAN, Thailand and Cambodia have achieved a ceasefire, while Hun Sen has been labeled as unscrupulous, losing land and becoming a real criminal. Alas, one misstep has unexpectedly made a young man famous.
