    Perry Rhodan has secretly sent Julian Tifflor and several other Terrans, including mutants, to deceive the Druufs and cause them harm. He told
    the Robot Arkonide Regent that the men have deserted Terra and hopes to
    set up a huge class between the Druufs and Arkon. The Druufs end up
    setting Julian Tifflor in charge of their 14,000 space ship fleet
    protecting their home worlds.

    Thank you for your reference to the original German pamphlet number - it
    keeps things easier.

    It's an old strategy for a power to bide its time while two rival powers exhaust themselves in mutual conflict. Mao wrote ON PROTRACTED WAR to
    avoid falling into this trap with Chiang.

    Perrypedia is somewhat behind in the synopses right now; this site has synopses of more recent issues.

    Thank you for the reminder. Mahoney's synopsis is also more
    comprehensive than Perrypedia: <https://www.perryrhodan.us/summaries/82>
    Such superb synopses steered me away from penning my own synopses after
    a feeble start: <https://crcomp.net/arts/pr0027/>
