  public Mono<Object> get() {
    Mono<Object> http = webClient.get()
        .uri(EXTERNAL_URL)
        .retrieve()
        .bodyToMono(Object.class);

Answer 1

Change your code as follows, it will deserialize the response to a string and return

public Mono<String> get() {
    Mono<Object> http = webClient.get()
        .uri(EXTERNAL_URL)
        .retrieve()
        .bodyToMono(String.class);

    return String;
  }
