I am just running into this situation in a game and I was glad to see that the answer is here. As complicated as this scenario is (to me), Krieg’s answer is completely supported by the rulebook. Thanks to all!

General Veers is correct, but only if you’re playing by the 2nd Edition rules. Under those rules, you may only build (or upgrade to) a major IC in a territory that is worth 3 or more IPCs and was originally controlled by you (has your emblem on it).
However, if you’re playing by the 1st Edition rules, the only requirement for building a major IC is that the territory be worth 3 or more IPCs. Under those rules, original control of the territory doesn’t matter.
