What would happen to the miltiarist faction in Japan if the Mukden Incident resulted in a poor outcome for the Kwantung Army?

I have a scenario where China is much more unified and coordinated than in OTL, which makes the Mukden Incident and Japan's subsequent invasion of Manchuria turn out very poorly for the Kwantung Army.

What would happen to the Militarist Faction in Japan in the following scenarios?

1.) If the Kwantung Army gets repelled entirely from Manchuria and forced back across the Korean border, or if significant Kwantung Army formations are encircled and destroyed within China.

2.) If the Kwantung Army fights to a stalemate and voluntarily withdraws after taking heavy losses and squeezing some concessions from the Chinese.

3.) If the Kwantung Army takes far more casualties than in OTL taking Manchuria.

My main question is, would the Japanese government increase the scope of the war or would the Militarists suffer some sort of loss in prestige?
