No, you can’t do that.
@rulebook:
…
If your side (but not necessarily your power) controlled a canal or narrow strait at the start of your turn, you may move
sea units through it (you can’t use it in the same turn that you capture it).

HTH :-)
Hello,
I got a newbie question….may I upgrade a minor factory that is originally controlled by other country? For example if I am a Germany player may I conquer India factory and than upgrade that one into a major one for my own use?
No, you can’t. Quoting the rules:
Major industrial complexes can only be built on originally controlled (not captured) territories with an IPC value of 3 or higher.
While India does have a sufficient IPC value for a major industrial complex, it would not be an originally controlled territory for Germany, but a captured one.
Ah got you. Thanks for quick response.
