Secondly, as the flu virus released by the United States led to the deaths of at least hundreds of millions of people worldwide, the World Alliance ruled that the United States must compensate the world for 200 billion US dollars and apologize to all countries and humanity.

Because of the damage caused to the economies of various countries by the flu pandemic, Americans must also pay an additional 10 billion US dollars in compensation for the economic losses of these countries.

If the above requirements are not met, all nations of the World Alliance will unite to impose sanctions on the United States, abolish all agreements with the United States, and prohibit any import-export agreements with the United States.

If the United States refuses to comply, the World Alliance may resort to force, assembling a coalition army of millions of people to compel the United States to accept the above demands.

When this list of compensation claims was placed on President Wilson’s desk, his face was ashen, but he was helpless.

This was not a demand from a single country, but a unified demand from five powers and nearly 20 countries, something that the United States could not possibly resist.

Not to mention the United States now, even the United States a hundred years later would have difficulty resisting, unless they directly provoked a nuclear war.

Even more deadly, the World Alliance made the entire process of the conference public, leading most Americans to believe that the flu was caused by a leak from a chemical plant. Discover hidden content at empire

It didn’t take long for the World Alliance’s claim to reach the White House, and already a large number of families of Americans who had died from the flu began suing the Kansas State chemical plant, and even directly suing the government for compensation.

This was not good news for the United States. This kind of compensation was not like war reparations, which could be easily dismissed.

Everyone believed that the responsibility lay with the chemical plant and the American government, so the appetite of those claiming compensation was huge, with the minimum amount being tens of thousands of dollars.

If the compensation was indeed calculated at $10,000 per person, the number of deaths in the United States had already exceeded one million, which would amount to more than 100 billion US dollars in compensation.

This 100 billion US dollars, combined with the 30 billion US dollars claimed by the World Alliance, meant that 40 billion US dollars in compensation would be enough to bankrupt the US government and put an end to its dream of establishing a new order.

It was clear that the claims from the public and the World Alliance could not be delayed, especially the latter.

After all, the public might just sue, but the World Alliance would actually send troops.

If it really came to war and the United States made an enemy of the entire world, it wouldn’t just be President Wilson’s throne at stake, the fate of the US government would also not be good.

"Fuck! The financial groups caused this trouble, and they must be held responsible for this!" The President shouted angrily, smashing everything on his desk.

The mere 30 billion US dollars in compensation demanded by the World Alliance alone was enough to cause an American headache.

It should be known that the gross domestic product of Australasia has not reached 3 billion US dollars. This means that the United States has to compensate at least ten times the economy of Australasia to satisfy the appetite of the World Alliance.

In terms of the US economy, the total fiscal revenue of the United States in 1917 was an estimated 900 million US dollars, a figure far less than its historical total fiscal revenue.

This year, due to the impact of the flu, the growth of fiscal revenue would not be too high. The result was that the 30 billion US dollars compensation would require the United States to repay in at least 30 years, without accounting for the US government’s financial expenditures.

The United States had already spent a lot of money borrowing from various countries to join the war. Now this loan has been abolished, and the United States has to bear at least 30 billion US dollars in debt, undoubtedly plunging its economy into the abyss.

President Wilson had initially planned to have the financial groups share some of the financial pressure, but the Kansas financial groups, when faced with Wilson’s demands, played dumb, directly denying the responsibility of the chemical plant, and refusing to bear part of the compensation.

The financial groups were not stupid. After all, the 30 billion US dollars compensation, even if they only took responsibility for one-tenth of it, would be enough to cripple them.

At this time, money was still very valuable, and even 2 billion US dollars was a huge sum for Australasia, let alone just a financial group from one state of the United States.

After giving the final ultimatum to the financial groups in Kansas, President Wilson turned his attention back to Ronnie, asking, "What did the World Alliance say?"

"Not a single cent less than 30 billion US dollars, they seem very firm in their stance." Ronnie sighed and said, "They demanded 5 billion US dollars to be paid within two years, and the remaining 25 billion US dollars could be paid off over 25 years."

President Wilson rubbed his brow, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and looked as if he had aged ten years.

"Our expected fiscal revenue this year is just under 1.2 billion US dollars. Paying 5 billion US dollars within two years, huh, they sure are thoughtful," President Wilson said mockingly.

According to the World Alliance’s demands, the United States could not make any moves for the next 30 years.

The United States had initially borrowed part of the debt for the war and received little compensation from Germany, barely enough to make a small profit after paying off the debts.

Now, however, property belonging to Americans had been universally frozen by various countries, and all foreign debts had been abolished.

This led to a direct loss of tens of billions of dollars for the United States, and even the war reparations from Germany to the United States were abolished.

That means the United States was at a total loss in this war, with a deficit of at least 50 billion US dollars.

What’s worse, with the 30 billion US dollars in compensation, the United States had no funds to expand its military preparations for the next 30 years.

If the United States really takes on these reparations, it will become a cash machine for European nations, providing one billion dollars annually to the World Alliance to help other countries develop.

As long as they agree to the demands of the World Alliance, President Wilson will instantly become a criminal in the United States, not to mention other consequences.

This would completely block the development of the United States for the next 30 years, and make the already divided United States even more chaotic.

It should be noted that although the United States has a large enough population, it is indeed a country of immigrants.

The original United States was made up of British colonies, and with the expansion of the territory and the large influx of immigrants, the ethnic composition of the United States became very mixed.

In addition, there were significant conflicts between white and black Americans. Whites generally looked down on blacks, but after the blacks were liberated, the US government had to acknowledge them as American citizens.

This led to not only conflicts between various ethnic groups but also significant conflicts between whites and blacks.

With such chaos, it would be impossible for the United States to resist the World Alliance’s offensive if it refused to agree to the compensation demands of the World Alliance.

This is the biggest dilemma President Wilson is currently facing. If he agrees to the compensation, he will become a criminal in the United States. If he refuses, he will become a criminal in the world.

In stark contrast to the worried faces of the US government, representatives of all member states of the World Alliance were smiling at this time.

Being able to blame all the responsibility of the flu on the United States is definitely good news. Moreover, getting a huge compensation from the United States is even better news.

This compensation can be used to alleviate the crisis caused by the flu, whether it is given to the people or used for domestic construction.

If it is used for domestic construction projects and then given to the public in the form of work-for-relief, well, both sides can profit, making it a great deal overall.

Each country would get at least several hundred million US dollars from the 30 billion in loans, truly establishing a situation in which the powerful nations eat meat while the small and medium-sized countries follow with soup.

Not to mention, this joint sanction against the United States has brought the countries of the World Alliance closer together.

At least they have common interests for the time being, and some countries with previous conflicts are now more pleasing to the eye when looking at each other.

Through the manipulation of several powerful nations, the situation where all countries should be at fault in the flu has been directly changed to a situation where only the United States is at fault, and other countries are victims.

Even if the US government refuses to admit its crimes against humanity and endangering all countries, such stereotypes have been imprinted in the minds of other countries.

Not to mention, in the absence of a larger crisis, the United States has already lost its initiative in foreign relations.

Whenever the United States takes action, all countries will recall the Great American Flu, as well as the crime of the United States releasing the virus to harm all humanity. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In this way, countries coveted by the United States will only unite, and might even turn around and attack the United States.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the United States to rise to world hegemony, with the difficulty not less than the US fighting the whole world alone.

Of course, the United States still has opportunities to clear its name. For example, in the future when World War II breaks out, if the United States single-handedly resists Germany’s attack and supports all countries, it may change the reputation of the United States.

But expecting the United States to bear the brunt of Germany’s attack, well, going to bed early might make that come true.

The two countries most satisfied with the current situation should be the United Kingdom and Australasia.

Prime Minister Raul George and Arthur have achieved their own goals, which is to weaken the threat of the United States.

Although the current United States may be able to maintain its status as a great power, it would face the challenge of the World Alliance if it wanted to rise to a higher level.

In this way, the possible conflicts between the UK and the US and between Australia and the US have been transformed into conflicts between the United States and the entire World Alliance.

There is no need for the UK and Australasia to take action, the alliance of all the small and medium-sized countries in the World Alliance is enough to give the United States a hard time.

All the small and medium-sized countries provide the army, and the five great powers provide only a part of the navy; breaking through the United States seems to be not a problem.

After all, among these small and medium-sized countries, there are brave and battle-skilled countries like the Balkan States, whose army has been proven to be stronger than the untested American army in the war.
