Wang Zhong naturally could not have known about the minor incident with Melania's First Division; he was already an Army Group Commander, and such matters were typically relegated to just a line of text in the daily and decadal reports.
On the evening of the 18th, within the First Mobile Group Army Corps Command, the "Big Three" were discussing how to employ the 40 tank armies that had just been assigned to their forces.
Wang Zhong dropped the just-received detailed organization chart for the 40th, sighed deeply, and said, "To be honest, I have very little confidence in these large tank units with a configuration of 100 KV tanks and a total strength of over 300 tanks."
Although Wang Zhong had been structuring model units in the first half of the recently ended year 915, and without his model unit achieving any noteworthy combat results, the Military Orders Department followed the previous year's experience to assemble a batch of units.
