(The image below shows the German super-heavy K-Wagen tank produced during World War I, which was designed to weigh around 100 tons but weighed 150 tons when finally produced. The military ordered 10 units at a unit price of 600,000 Marks, with a top speed of only 7.5 kilometers per hour and a cruising speed of 1.9 kilometers per hour. By the end of World War I, only one was roughly completed, but it was not used on the battlefield and thus remained unknown.)
What is unbelievable is that Shire's tank design drawings actually bear some resemblance to Major General Luca's tank being designed, at least in terms of certain requirements:
A weight of around 100 tons, cannons on all four sides, and armor thickness of about 30MM on the front and sides.
Major General Luca looked excited and spoke incoherently in excitement: "Yes, this is exactly what I want. God! Shire and I are on the same page; this is the kind of tank we need. This is the direction of tank development! Without a doubt!"
