Switzerland Strategy

Although Franz failed to invite Wheatstone himself, his writings, patents, and relevant research results all arrived in Austria. For this, Franz spent 7,000 Pound Sterling, which was considered a very high price in Britain at the time.

However, Franz felt the money was well spent, as the research achievements of Austrian scientists in electromagnetism were truly limited at this stage.

At this moment, the world's best masters of electromagnetism were in Britain, while Siemens, who would change the history of generators in the future, was still in Prussia.

Wheatstone used electromagnets to replace permanent magnets and created the first magneto-electric DC motor, an important measure for increasing the output power of generators.

Yet, the British research direction was wrong; Wheatstone used his device to launch a metal rod nearly 20 meters, and consequently, they began to consider the feasibility of an electromagnetic cannon.

Naturally, this strategic error ultimately led, to a certain extent, to Britain being overtaken by the European continent during the electrical revolution; even the first electromagnetic cannon was invented by the French, rather than the British who had first dabbled in it.

If Franz wanted to complete his plan, he had to seize the opportunity of the electrical revolution and occupy an absolute advantage to break his shackles.

At this time, the Austrian Empire had invested heavily in electromagnetism and possessed sufficient talent reserves; it only needed a spark of inspiration to perfect the foundations of electromagnetism.

However, this inspiration is sometimes more important than that 99% of hard work and preparation.

Historically, Prime Minister Metternich, bearing the pressure of an economic deficit, insisted on providing the Swiss League of Orthodoxy (Catholic League) with weapons, equipment, and whatever money and supplies might be needed.

As it turned out, these things all vanished without a trace, only exacerbating
