Cambodian monks cursed General Phan Sin of Thailand, while Thai monks drew amulets to protect General Phan Sin. The Cambodian and Thai sides launched a round of spiritual battles around General Phan Sin! In fact, the Thai monks proved to be more skilled, and General Phan Sin's body remained in sufficient health. The reason why both Thailand and Cambodia focused on General Phan Sin is that he is a hardliner among Thai generals. As the commander of the second military region of Thailand, he has always been relatively tough towards Cambodia.
Moreover, it was General Phan Sin who led the war against Cambodia on the front line, making him a hardliner among hardliners. The "crazy person" mentioned by Prime Minister Paetongtarn in the audio leak was General Phan Sin, with all kinds of firm stances. Because the Thai military and the Thai political arena are all serving the King of Thailand. The Thai military has its own views, which are not exactly the same as those of the Thai government, hence causing the conflict between the Thai government and the military.
In fact, such conflicts are what the King of Thailand wants to see. If the Thai government and the military were in perfect harmony, the King would be unhappy. Only when there is a conflict between the Thai government and the military will the King step in to uphold justice. Otherwise, the King would have to take a back seat.
Therefore, even if the Thai government and the military could reach an agreement, it would be impossible. Even if their goals are the same, they would intentionally express different opinions to create an image of discord. As a result of the audio leak incident, the pro-Cambodia factions within Thailand were all silenced, leaving only the hardline faction that was tough on Cambodia, ultimately leading to the Sino-Cambodian War.
It must be said that the audio leak incident was a terrible move, extremely bad. One audio leak incident overturned all pro-Cambodia forces within Thailand, and even Prime Minister Paetongtarn, who was part of the pro-Cambodia faction, was betrayed and could no longer remain soft, but had to change to a tough stance.
Finally, General Phan Sin became the scapegoat. Cambodia cursed General Phan Sin, while Thailand protected General Phan Sin, and the two sides engaged in a game of curses and counter-curses. The military confrontation between Cambodia and Thailand ended, and now the wizards took the stage.
