Heh. For relatively obvious reasons, the Mexicans rejected the German offer. German credit was no good except to buy weapons to fight the Americans, and the only significant producer of weapons in the western hemisphere was.....America.
Meanwhile, German goods couldn't be imported because the British and Americans controlled the seas.
Mexico saw it as the empty offer that it really was and rejected it.
