The boss had a whim and insisted on designing a square tank that is 2 meters long and wide and 13 meters high; anyone, please give some advice

This design does indeed face significant wind resistance issues; it would be possible to consider adding stabilizing support structures to the tank, such as widening the base or using internal support structures, in order to enhance its stability and reduce reliance on tension cables. At the same time, wind-resistant designs such as streamlined structures can also be considered to reduce wind resistance. .
Just provide your suggestions to the boss for reference; if you can’t persuade them, then just carry out the plan. . . . . Otherwise, it’s possible that the boss might decide to fire you on a whim :)
The boss comes up with an idea on a whim, you come up with a proposal on a whim as well
The risk is too high; it’s difficult to calculate the wind pressure accurately, and it’s also hard to determine the values according to the rules.
This is not a square tank; it’s an elevator shaft
I just want to know what wall thickness is required to ensure no deformation. Are circles in conflict with his five elements?
Referencing the elevator shaft structure, such height requirements are not stringent; the steel frame bears the wind load, and the wall thickness depends on the internal pressure of the container.
Similar to air separation cryogenic tanks or box-type furnaces in refining plants, there are no major challenges; strengthening the structure is sufficient.
