Changes in the Japanese government after the Manchurian Incident:

• Following the assassination of Inukai, replacing party cabinets with "national unity"ones and sharp drop of party members among the ministers of the cabinet. (423)
• Shift of policy making: from party to bureaucracy. (424)

• Petroleum Industry Law.
• Automobile Manufacturing Industry Law.

• Reaction of party members in the Diet: patriotism triumphed over differences with the cabinet.
• Diet's passage of decision to recognize Manchukuo in 1934. (425)
• Impeachment of Minobe's "organ theory" of the emperor in 1935 by the House of Peers.
• Imprisonment of Communists and right wingers alike to prevent militant overthrow of the state. (430-31)

One can argue that in reaction to right wing's lashes against party governments, the state's response was to staff the government with moderate bureaucrats/retired admirals who were "above" partisan intrigues and who upheld "patriotism," and whose chief concern  was political stability.
