I created a Romanian Army HQ on turn 2 and added a general on turn 3. Maybe I'm just lucky but a couple of turns later I had my 1st staff, only 100, but it made the HQ fully operational. I have the HQ set on priority and it is slowly gaining staff.
You do have a random chance of getting Minor replacements before their spirit is above 80 (I think) sounds like you rolled good
The surest way to get staff is to temporialy disband a Corp HQ that starts on the map. Once you get 100 staff in the new HQ it can move around and you can stop disbanding.
