In March 1968, a former Soviet nuclear submarine sank in the Pacific Ocean, killing all officers and soldiers on board. Afterwards, the former Soviet Union and the United States remained silent about the reasons for the silence of the K-129 nuclear submarine, and almost no one outside knew the real situation of the sinking of the K-129. After decades of investigation, American nuclear bomb and intelligence expert and author Kenneth Swell has revealed for the first time in his new book the surprising inside story of the K-129 submarine: The former Soviet Union sent nuclear submarines at that time They want to launch an attack on Pearl Harbor, the US military base in the Pacific Ocean. At the same time, because of the bad relations between China and the Soviet Union, the former Soviet Union wants to blame China for this.
In 1968, when the Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union intensified, the United States was in the midst of the Vietnam War, and at the same time, the United States remained wary of China's rapid development. At this time, a group of "hardliners" emerged in the former Soviet Union. They advocated that the former Soviet Union should take advantage of this time to expand its power. One of the ways is to provoke a war between China and the United States, because the former Soviet Union should take advantage of this time to expand its power. It is believed that such a war will definitely mean that China will be defeated, and the former Soviet Union can take the opportunity to occupy and rule China.
It is not known who in the former Soviet Union was the first to launch this "two birds with one stone" plan to launch a nuclear strike on Pearl Harbor while making the outside world think it was from a Chinese submarine. If Pearl Harbor was attacked, the United States would definitely respond immediately. At this time, the leaders of the former Soviet Union could sit down and watch the "Snipe and Clam Fight, Fisherman Profits" drama directed by him.
According to the plan of the former Soviet Union, this attack plan will be carried out by the former Soviet Union K-129 nuclear submarine stationed in Siberia, because China had purchased the same submarine from the former Soviet Union when Sino-Soviet relations were friendly. The nuclear submarines deployed in the Chinese Navy are of the same type as the missiles launched by the former Soviet nuclear submarines, but China's missiles have a shorter range. In order to put the blame on the Chinese submarine, the former Soviet nuclear submarine had to get close to the target of the attack, and used this method to confuse the US military.
On February 25, 1968, the submarine K-129 of the Pacific Fleet left the Far East military port and marched into the ocean. In addition to the regular crew of the submarine, 11 more people boarded the submarine this time. Sewell claimed that shortly before the K-129 departed from the Kamchatka military base, a mysterious group of men with passes secretly boarded the submarine and took over control of the submarine midway, making the The submarine deviated from the normal patrol waters and headed towards the Hawaiian waters of the United States at full speed! It is estimated that the 11 unidentified individuals were prepared to "hijack" the submarine and launch nuclear warheads at the right time.
Unfortunately, this mission failed, and the K-129 submarine exploded about 350 nautical miles northwest of Pearl Harbor, killing all members of the boat at sea. Regarding the cause of the explosion, one theory is that the K-129 was hit and sunk to the bottom of the sea by the USS Swordfish nuclear submarine that was following and tracking. However, Sewell believes that when the K-129 surfaced to launch a nuclear missile, a "nuclear security system" caused the launch to fail, the missile exploded, and the hijackers and nearly a hundred Soviet soldiers were buried on the seabed near Hawaii!
As can be seen from satellite photos, K-129 briefly surfaced before detonating. There are only two reasons for this, one is that the K-129 had a fatal malfunction, in which case the sub would have surfaced, but if so, it should have immediately radioed for advice, but nothing happened. The second possibility is that it floated up to launch a nuclear warhead at Pearl Harbor. Based on various indications, this is likely to be the reason for the rise of K-129. But if the former Soviet Union wanted to start a nuclear war, why did it choose Pearl Harbor? It doesn't make sense from a strategic point of view. There is only one possibility, that is, the K-129 submarine was hijacked by the "hardliners" of the former Soviet Union before the accident. In order to blame China, the K-129 deliberately surfaced and approached the attack target.
