The first tank was invented by Joseph Hawker in 1827 for military use

No it wasn't. Hawker designed a type of caterpillar track, but so did dozens of people in many countries during the 19th Century and earlier. Hawker's wasn't anything out of the ordinary. And it was designed for agricultural use, as the Patent explains. It wasn't armoured and it didn't carry any armament. Using it for military purposes never crossed Hawker's mind.

Recognisable tanks were designed in France, Austria, and Australia in the decade preceding WWI, but none was actually built. Once the War began, tanks were built quite independently in Great Britain and France, and one prototype in Russia. The question of who "invented" them is very difficult to answer. Some in Britain, France, and Russia made major contributions, but it was really a chain of causation. Don't believe that claptrap on Wikipedia.

How did EL de la Mole invent the first military tank?

EL de la Mole did not invent the first military tank; that credit goes to British engineer Sir Albert Gerald Stern and the team behind the development of the Mark I tank during World War I. The design was created to address the challenges of trench warfare, allowing for greater mobility and protection for troops. The concept of armored vehicles evolved through various designs, but the Mark I, introduced in 1916, is recognized as the first true tank. EL de la Mole may be a fictional or lesser-known figure not directly associated with this historical innovation.
