In Marvel's Kamen Rider Chronicles

"Sif! Don't be rude!" Frigga shouted in a deep voice.

Sif gritted her teeth, but still put the tray down.

Saul became interested: "Why did you come to such a conclusion just by looking at the total population and military population?"

You Qi said to Thor speechlessly: "You have also been to Earth. Do you know the total population of the United States and the number of U.S. troops?"

Thor shook his head: "I don't know, and, is this related to our population problem in Asgard?"

Frigga lowered her head and began to think.

She seemed to have caught something crucial.

You Qi sighed: "As you know, the number of American troops is not even one percent of their population. Strictly speaking, it is about 0.30 percent. Even so, their military expenditure accounts for 10% of their annual population." A large part of the country's revenue.

Don't tell me that Asgard doesn't pay for its military. "

Thor was speechless, but Frigga sighed helplessly: "We can use food to replace the army's military expenses, because Asgard has a large harvest every year, even if one-third is given to the army, the rest is used for Most of the year's expenses can be left over, and the food will be used to feed war horses, make wine...

However, even so, there is still a lot of food left over every year.

But do these have anything to do with population issues? "

You Qi is speechless, this is really...

It can only be said that luckily Asgard is an agricultural civilization. If an industrial civilization does this, it will cause big problems sooner or later.

After all, the most important thing about industrial civilization is that it requires a large number of workers in factories.

As for agricultural civilization, an Asir can cultivate a lot of land.

Forget it, since there is no problem for the time being, You Qi will forget about it.

Keep looking down.

When he saw the army asking for war, You Qi looked at Saul strangely: "Who do these armies want to fight against?"

Sol sighed, and then said everything he had not said to You Qi before.

It turns out that Odin has fallen into a deep sleep since his power was taken away by an unscrupulous store manager. To put it simply, his body was drained and he fell into a state of Odin's sleep.

When his divine power accumulates to a certain level and the bottom of his shabby bottle is filled, he can wake up.

But this normally takes a hundred years.

Even if Frigga and Thor used artifacts to carry him, they could only shorten the time by half.

During this period, Asgard's affairs could only be left to Thor and Frigga.

It would be okay if Loki helped.

Now that Odin has gone to bed, there is no one Loki can't stand in the palace who should theoretically come back.

But Loki also has another identity, the prince of Jotunheim.

If there was no contact with Lao Fei before, Loki could ignore his biological father.

But with contact, there are thoughts.

Moreover, Lao Fei was willing to use everything he had in exchange for his son's advancement.

This made Loki, who had never felt fatherly love, feel like a lump in his throat.

So, he decided to use his wisdom to bring a better future to the Frost Giants.

At that time, he will return to Asgard to take care of Frigga in her old age.

This is what he thought. Working with Thor to stop the thousand-year war between the Frost Giants and the Asa Protoss is the first step.

In the future, he will bring a bright future to the Frost Giants.

And there has been no news about him until now. He may have fallen into isolation due to the harsh living environment of the Frost Giants.

If you want to change the future of the Frost Giants, the year-round snowy environment of Jotunheim must be changed.

It's a pity that not even Odin, no, not even ten thousand Odins can change the living environment of Jotunheim.

It would be okay to blow up Jotunheim with one shot, but it's a pity that the Frost Giants would not allow this to happen.

Loki hasn't solved the problem with the Frost Giants yet, so he really has no shame in returning to Asgard.

The problem with Sol is...

Because there is no such big enemy as the Frost Giants, it is a bit unacceptable that the army continues to remain at the number of 100,000 people.

As we all know, no matter which world it is. Soldiers are always the ones who are not engaged in production.

They learn how to kill people.

And you can imagine what will happen if these 100,000 soldiers who only know how to kill return to Asgard's society.

But might Thor declare war on the Frost Giants again just to find something to do for these 100,000 soldiers?

How can this be?

Even if his brother Loki is not the king of the Frost Giants, it is impossible.

Then it is even more impossible to listen to these generals who only think about fighting and killing people and start a war in secret.

"Can I ask why there are only hundreds of thousands of people in Asgard? There shouldn't be only such a few people.

Asgard has no worries about food and clothing. With such a prosperous life, how could there be only such a small number of people? "You Qi looked at Sol.

Sol's face looked tired.

Frigga sighed: "Things must start a thousand years ago."

It turns out that Asgard was not such a "peace-loving" country long ago.

A thousand years ago, Odin declared a truce on the grounds of "Twilight of the Gods", and then expressed his intention to prepare for this Ragnarok.

Ragnarok is a prophecy about the eventual destruction of Asgard.

This prophecy first appeared three thousand years ago.

Odin, of course, scoffed at this.

But why did he finally use this reason to stop fighting and recuperate?

The reason is simple.

In Asgard's thousands of years of war, men have developed a warlike character, and women have developed the habit of not having children.

After giving birth to a child, a boy will go to the battlefield when he is three or four hundred years old. If a girl is born, she will raise silkworms and farm with her mother to provide support for the army's logistics.

Why bother to be born?

Why give birth?

Asgard once had a population of more than five million.

Two thousand years ago, there were more than three million.

However, a thousand years ago there were only more than one million.

The destruction of the population caused by the war is horrific.

The moment an Asir protoss who takes more than four hundred years to grow up steps onto the battlefield, his life may be wiped out like a number in an instant.

There were losses on the front line, and the women of the Asa protoss behind were unwilling to give birth. As a result, the population of Asgard plummeted due to the combination of the two.

To be honest, if the population has only been reduced by more than one million people in a thousand years, Asgard's combat power is really superior. It can only be so if it keeps winning battles.

Otherwise, once a battle is defeated and the entire army is annihilated, Asgard's homeland will be attacked.

If the homeland is attacked, it will really be a unilateral massacre.

Odin also reacted a thousand years ago.

Your father wins one battle every month, so why are there fewer and fewer people fighting? !

No, we can't fight anymore. If we continue to fight, let alone Ragnarok, Asgard will perish due to the disappearance of the population.
