Actually, that isn't how I read 4.6. When a minor gets no sponsor, the only 
effects are that its corps don't deploy, and the attacker loses no 
political points. That doesn't mean that the attacker automatically gets 
control---hence the cross-ref to 10.2.1. (If the attacker automatically got 
control, why would you need to look at 10.2.1?) In this case, I still need 
to occupy Benghazi for a month in order to conqueror Cyrenaica.
