Absolutely, this is a clear rule. France bought 2 Cavalry corps, one will
be used immediately this Reinforcement, the other will be "saved" until an
opportunity arises.

Just a note here for new players.
I have seen France pay for 2 new corps. Note that players can not buy a
corps counter in advance, you have to pay and buy only those corps counters
that are out of the game on the economy month.
So in this example France can only buy Art and Cav corps, all infantry
corps are already placed and not available for purchase.
Look at the last two sentences:
*8.5.4 EXPENDITURE ON NEW CORPS AND FLEET COUNTERS:* Major powers and
their controlled minor free states may purchase fleet and corps counters
not currently on the map by paying one money point per counter. These
counters must be placed on the board within the next three months (the next
quarter) or they must be again purchased on another Economic Phase before
they can be placed on the map. Turkish feudal, Austrian insurrection and
the Austrian Tyrol corps that are not on the map at this time do not have
to be purchased. Only _available_ (currently off the map) fleet and corps
counters may be purchased as "new" counters. Counters currently on the
mapboard may _not_ be purchased to be available for immediate return to
play as "new" counters should they be eliminated.
